    About this ebook

    HE WAS TAUGHT HOW TO KILL
    Even behind bars, serial killer Harvey Lee Smith exudes menace. Psychologist Jolene Granger has agreed to hear his dying confession, vowing not to let the monster inside her head. And Harvey has secrets to share—about bodies that were never found, and about the apprentice who is continuing his grisly work . . .
     
    AND NOW HE’LL TEACH THEM
    He buries his victims alive the way his mentor Harvey did, relishing their final screams as the earth rains down. And as one last gift to the only father he knew, he’ll make the most perfect kill of all.
     
    HOW TO DIE
    Everything about this investigation is unnerving Jo, from Harvey’s fascination with her to the fact that she’s working alongside Texas Ranger Brody Winchester, her ex-husband. Harvey’s protégé is growing bolder and more vicious every day. And soon the trail of shallow graves will lead them to the last place Jo expected, and to the most terrifying truth of all . . .
     
    “A thrill a minute . . . there is no escaping the fact that with No Escape, Mary Burton delivers again.”

      A Year in Reading: Kara Levy

      Dec 19, 2017

      For me, there are two types of reading urges: the impulse to read the mirror of your life, and impulse to forget your life by reading yourself out of it. This year I was lucky enough to read a book that did both. George Saunders’s Lincoln in the Bard

      You Can’t Judge A Book By Its Cover

      This is my first book written by Mary Burton. I read it in one sitting and am hooked! It's filled with little surprises that will leave you convinced you have things tidied up, but then WHAM! You're off and running in a completely new direction. Love it and looking forward to more from Ms. Burton!
