In CLOSE TO HOME, a brutal killer with a bloody sense of revenge terrorizes the affluent Chicago suburb of Ravensburg. First the well-scrubbed teenage "girl next door" is found dead, her corpse provocatively posed alongside a busy thoroughfare. The body count climbs as the town's young and handsome activist minister and his older, married, minivan-mom lover are found mutilated in her locked suburban home. CLOSE TO HOME is a tour de force through the wholesome appearances and sordid realities of a town voted "the best place in America to raise a family." Emotionally battered PI and former profiler Jonathan Kraag must tie together cases hot and cold, racing to get inside a murderer's mind before the killer adds the town's children to his growing extended family of victims.
