  • "Summer is smoldering through Atlanta on Fourth of July weekend, as fireworks crack through the air and steam rises from the pavement on Peachtree. Private investigator and ex-FBI profiler Keye Street wants nothing more than a couple of quiet days alone with her boyfriend, Aaron - but, as usual, murder gets in the way. A.P.D. Lieutenant Aaron Rauser is called to the disturbing scene of the strangling death of a thirteen-year-old boy. Meanwhile, Keye must deal with not one but two of her own investigations: In the hills of Creeklaw County, there is a curious case involving chicken feed and a crematorium, and in Atlanta, Keye's emotionally fragile cousin Miki is convinced she is being stalked. Given Miki's history of drug abuse and mental problems, Keye is reluctant to accept her cousin's tale of a threatening man inside her house late one night. But as a recovering alcoholic herself, Keye cannot exactly begrudge a woman her addictions - especially since Miki drives Keye to near-relapses at every turn. And yet, Miki is family, and Keye must help her - even if it means tempting her own demons."

  • ""One of the most addictive new series heroines since Stephanie Plum."'The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Atlanta private investigator and ex'FBI profiler Keye Street wants nothing more than time alone with her boyfriend, Aaron'but, as usual, murder gets in the way. A.P.D. Lieutenant Aaron Rauser is called to the disturbing scene of the strangling death of a thirteen-year-old boy. Meanwhile, Keye, a recovering alcoholic, must deal with her emotionally fragile cousin, who has her own history of drug abuse and is now convinced that she is being stalked. But all hell breaks loose when another murder'the apparent hanging of an elderly man'hits disturbingly close to home for Keye.

With the threat of more deaths to come, Keye works on pure instinct alone'and soon realizes that a killer is circling ever closer to the people she loves the most. BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Amanda Kyle Williams's Don't Talk to Strangers. Praise for Amanda Kyle Williams and Stranger in the Room "Keye Street remains the most interesting, cynically funny and smart series detective today. ... The tension buzzes like cicadas on a hot Georgia night and the pace is relentless."'Seattle Post-Intelligencer "The best fictional female P.I. since Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone."'The Plain Dealer "Keye Street immediately puts herself in the top echelon of suspense heroes. She's a mess of fascinating contradictions'effortlessly brilliant on a case, totally inept in managing her own life. She is brutally funny and powerfully human'one of the most realistic protagonists in crime fiction that I've had the thrill to read."'Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of Last to Die "There's a new voice in Atlanta, and her name is Amanda Kyle Williams'captivating, powerful and compelling."'Julia Spencer-Fleming, New York Times bestselling author of One Was a Soldier "Readers of this fast-paced thriller will be eager for the next Street tale."'Publishers Weekly."@en
