Rookie cop Cally Bank is about to join the police department of Two Rivers, a vibrant town nestled between waterways at the Jersey Shore. With four older brothers and a dad on the force, there's a lot to live up to.

Shockingly, Cally's first morning on the job, a woman is found dead on the river bank, eerily dressed in an evening gown. Soon, police learn it is the nurse reported missing days earlier.

The following week, a local waitress fails to arrive home after her shift, striking fear in the beach town community. When her body is discovered, dressed in similar fashion, the killer sends a note, stating his intention and warning that there will be more.

As the nation becomes riveted by a spree killer dubbed The Couturier, the town of Two Rivers is held hostage. The FBI is summoned, and Cally finds herself with an impossible choice to make.

Torn between a desire to prove her worth, and a promise she's made to her family, Cally struggles to make a life or death decision, not just for herself, but for the Couturier's next victim.

Because a third woman has already been abducted, the clock is ticking-and there's no room for mistakes. But with little evidence and no apparent motive, the killer's true intentions remain hidden in the folds of a twisted mind. And it may come down to Cally to uncover the truth-and save her hometown.

About the Author:

Susan Paytas is a life-long resident of the Jersey Shore, where she and her husband raised their two children. A Lady in Danger is Susan's debut novel and is the recipient of several awards including First Place wins in the San Antonio Merritt Contest, the Indiana Golden Opportunity Contest; and First Runner-Up in RWA's prestigious Golden Heart Contest in the Single Title category.

It is such a pleasure to bring you this story, set at our beloved Jersey Shore. Although the town of Two Rivers is fictitious, it bears a close resemblance to a popular town you may recognize. I hope that the suspense keeps you turning the pages and rooting for Cally Bank.
