Description
J.D. Barker's gripping thriller follows Detective Sam Porter as he investigates a series of murders in Chicago. Three weeks after a teenager went missing, her body is discovered under a frozen lake. As another girl vanishes, Porter suspects a serial killer is at large, but the deaths are too different to be attributed to one person. Porter's investigation is complicated by his own personal demons, including a case he can't shake from years ago. His only leads are a picture of a female prisoner and a cryptic note from the suspect: 'Help me find my mother. I think it's time we talked.' As the body count rises, Porter becomes increasingly obsessed with tracking down the killer's mother, who may hold the key to understanding the mind of a serial killer. A twisted and suspenseful thriller, The Fifth to Die explores the darker side of human nature and the complexities of the human psyche.
