Oak Knoll Series
by Tami Hoag
Deeper Than the Dead introduced Tami Hoag's millions of fans to Oak Knoll, a small California town that, in the mid-eighties, seemed as idyllic as any... until the See-No-Evil killer shattered that notion. It took FBI agent Vince Leone and a new technique called "profiling" to put an end to the trauma.
Secrets to the Grave brought Leone's teacher-turned-child-advocate wife, Anne, into a central role. Together with Vince and local sheriff's deputy Tony Mendez, she solved an Oak Knoll murder with a particularly challenging mystery: The victim never existed.
And now Hoag returns once more to Oak Knoll for the third installment of this bestselling series. Through Leone's pioneering, science-based investigatory skills, Hoag explores the early days of forensic police work. And through the chilling case at the heart of Down the Darkest Road, she hooks ever more readers into the meticulously crafted, all-too-terrifying world of Oak Knoll, where the scariest secrets of all can be found... Down the Darkest Road.
"The major plot twist won't surprise many readers, and neither the characters nor the cliché-hobbled story line are among Hoag's best work." - Publishers Weekly
"A mesmerizing psychological drama on loss, guilt, frustration and implacable, unexplainable evil." - Kirkus Reviews
"Hoag keeps tight control over her plot in this book, raising the tension with every page that turns. She knows her characters, both good and bad, and intensifies the conflict in the most absorbing way. Not every writer of suspense can manage it so successfully but Hoag does it from beginning to end." - Huffington Post
"In Down the Darkest Road, Tami Hoag tells a compelling and heart-wrenching tale of loss and love and justice." - CriminalElement.com
