The Landlord

By Ken Merrell

Five young girls are dead in a small Utah community. Their long dark hair is the only common element.

Officer Rick Stacey and his K-9, Sig, are determined to stop the mayhem, but they get set up by a powerful and dangerous man, who leaves them helpless to save the next victim.

Don Rodriquez has less than thirty days to find a job and a home for himself and his daughter, Christina, or finish a ninety-day stay in  the county lock up. One more explosion of his volatile temper will ruin everything.

Melvin Briggs, a friendly landlord makes Don and Christina an offer they should have turned down.  Don knows the previous tenants moved out in a hurry, he just doesn’t know why.

A very excellent thriller. The plot and characters just flowed like you were right next to them. Love the author’s writing and style. Excellent book and recommend highly.

I couldn’t put this one down. I think I boiled water for spagetti for over an hour because I couldn’t walk away.

This is probably one of the best mystery books I have read. Very unpredictable. A movie should be made from it. Worth the read!!!!

Brilliant!!! I love the plot and cast of characters that are different from so many other crime books and movies. I didn’t want it to end.
