The Hog Lady
Om denne lydboken
How do you catch killers who have already found the perfect way to make bodies disappear?
When Jackie Kelter finally escapes years of brutal domestic abuse, she believes a restraining order will protect her. Instead, it becomes her death sentence.
Her murderer, Bradley Kelter, thinks he’s committed the perfect crime—until he’s discovered by the mysterious owner of an isolated farm. Known only as The Hog Lady, Sandy Jacobs offers him an impossible bargain: she’ll help erase every trace of the murder… for a price.
As detectives Vince Spivak and Jerry Delaney race to solve a disappearance that quickly spirals into a string of increasingly savage killings, they find themselves hunting two predators whose partnership grows deadlier with every victim. Behind the façade of a lonely rural farm lies a horrifying secret, where the hungry hogs leave little evidence behind.
From legendary horror author John A. Russo, The Hog Lady is a chilling psychological thriller of serial murder, manipulation, and relentless suspense that proves some monsters don’t hide in the darkness—they build a home there.
