Try, Try Again (An Allison Graves Thriller)

Twenty years ago, the Encore Killer terrorized Los Angeles, turning infamous serial killer cold cases into fresh nightmares. Then he vanished, leaving a trail of broken families and unanswered questions. Now he's back, and Detective Allison Graves finds herself center stage in his twisted return performance.

As mutilated bodies appear across the city, each staged to recreate history's most chilling unsolved murders, Allison realizes this isn't just another case. The killer is watching her, taunting her, weaving her own tragic past into his macabre masterpiece. With every crime scene, every cryptic message, he draws closer to the truth she's spent years trying to forget-including the decades-old disappearance of her sister Piper.

With her new partner Mark Foster at her side and time running out, Allison must confront the demons of her past. Because the Encore Killer has saved his grandest finale for last, and Allison isn't just hunting him anymore. She's the star of his show.

The curtain's rising. The stage is set. And this time, only one of them will take the final bow.

In this pulse-pounding thriller, Madison Boyd masterfully blends psychological suspense with police procedural, crafting a story about the shadows we can't outrun and the secrets that refuse to stay buried. Perfect for fans of Tess Gerritsen, Michael Connelly, and Lisa Gardner.
