![]() ![]() ![]() Then Laurel is all tears and determination to find the killer. ![]() Despite Laurel 's anguish over losing her child abuse case, her reaction to Savannah 's problem-also rooted in abuse by a stepfather-is, "If I'd known, I don't think I would have come back now." Eventually Savannah sniffs around the wrong man and is murdered. But matters are grim on the home front, where a serial killer is haunting young women, and Savannah, Laurel's man-loving sister, is becoming increasingly unstable. The scream heard by no one is the deadliest. Laurel has returned to her hometown, Bayou Breaux, La., to lick her wounds after she blew a case involving child sexual abuse, lost her public prosecutor's job and suffered a breakdown. With antics like crashing a Corvette and swatting a smarmy evangelist preacher with a bag of fish, Jack charms Laurel Chandler. CRY WOLF In the rural parishes of Louisianas French Triangle, young women are disappearing, only to turn up on the banks of the Bayou, strangled and cast. The "bad boy" is the hero, horror writer Jack Boudreaux. But this time she factors in an offensive theme: bad boys are to be tolerated, but bad girls are to be raped, mutilated and strangled. As in her last romantic mystery, Still Waters, Hoag creates a pair of lovers who are so awful that they deserve each other. ![]()
