Brace yourself for a scorching new series from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Karen Rose, where San Diego means sun, surf, sand…and serial killers.   Sam Reeves is a kindhearted psychologist who treats court-ordered clients. After one of his patients—a pathological liar—starts revealing plausible new details from a long-unsolved serial murder case, hes compelled to report anonymously to the SDPD tip line, though his attempts to respect patient confidentiality land him facedown and cuffed by the aggressive (and cute) Detective McKittrick.   San Diego homicide detective Kit McKittrick loves the water. She lives on a boat, and when shes not solving crimes with the SDPD, shes assisting her foster sister with her charter fishing business or playing with her poodle. But theres nothing that intrigues Kit more than a cold case, so when an anonymous caller leads her on the path of a wanted killer, shes determined to end the decade-long manhunt.   Sam is soon released but goes home with both a newfound distaste for the SDPD and a resolve—not unlike Kits—to uncover the truth. Kit and Sam repeatedly butt heads in their separate investigations but are forced to work together to find one of the deadliest serial killers the city has faced in years.

In the heart-pounding thriller "Cold-Blooded Liar," the first installment of Karen Rose's gripping San Diego Case Files series, Detective Jax Coulter finds himself embroiled in a complex case involving a murdered woman and her connection to a prominent family.

She had a history of drug abuse and a string of relationships with dangerous men. Jax and Sticks must unravel the tangled threads of Ronnie's life to find the person who took it from her.

As they dig deeper, Jax and Sticks find themselves up against powerful forces that will stop at nothing to protect their secrets.
