Black Bird

Jack Terrington, the nation's most prolific serial killer, returns to the scene of his first murders, a small town he'd escaped only by dumb luck. Jack has an aptitude for getting away with murder; he's been doing it for twenty years. He's a drifter, leaving a trail of fear and death from coast to coast. And though he's always avoided capture, he's haunted by the memory of Liberty, Virginia—Jack had escaped capture only by dumb luck. And that's always bothered him. Now, before he retires for good, he's returning to the small town to settle the score. Meanwhile, David Beaumont couldn't wait to leave Liberty—he was tired of listening to the endless stories about what a great man his father had been, how he had saved Liberty from a killer, sacrificing his own life. David's starting a new life, but when the killings start again, David's the only one that can stop them. Should he return to the town he despises? And if he does, will he end up like his father—dead?
