MANTIS

A series of horrific murders along the coast of Southern California brings Investigative Reporter Deanne Mulhenney and Medical Examiner Sara Poole together again. A young but quickly-maturing drug trade, politics, and an internal power struggle within the mob have combined to unleash an assassin like no other. Evidence suggests the killer is a woman; one with terrifying skills...and tastes. Fresh from their bittersweet resolution of The Lily Murders, a case they secretly refer to as True Creature, Mulhenney and Poole find themselves at odds with the authorities once again as they risk their lives to uncover the truth.
