About the book

What Matters Blood

Lexington homicide detective Jack Dantzler has built a perfect record: thirty-three murders solved and thirty-three killers convicted. That record is threatened when a serial killer murders three college women, strangling them before arranging St. Jude medals and images of Michelangelo’s Pietà on their bodies. The ritual crimes revive Dantzler’s memories of his mother’s unsolved murder and draw him into a deeply personal struggle. To stop an adversary who calls their contest a “Waltz of Death,” Dantzler must master his own emotions before the killer turns his past into another weapon.
