“You have a choice, Carlee. You can show your real face… or you can die.” Private investigator Carlee Knight doesn’t shy from danger—but how can she hope to chase down a killer no one has ever seen? Ever since a serial murderer massacred Carlee’s classmates, tortured her twin brother to death, and tore the Knight family apart, she’s been obsessed with hunting down the elusive culprit police know only as the Eighth-Grade Killer. But her sleepy lakeshore home of Harborside isn’t the only small town haunted by a deadly ghost. The colorful, welcoming Chicago suburb of Pinehaven is under attack by an unknown shooter. Armed with a dark car, a powerful rifle, and a clear vendetta against the victims, the killer could be anyone. As the local election approaches and political forces threaten to turn the tightknit multicultural community against one another, terrified residents are desperate for someone—anyone—to save their town and stop the killings. But is there a secret connection between the victims that holds the key to discovering the identity of the killer? Carlee must race against time to hunt down a drive-by shooter with no known motive, and the chase will drag her into a seemingly perfect suburb’s shameful shadows, from the local church to the mayor’s mansion and everywhere in between. The Drive-By Killer is the fifth book of Katy Pierce’s Harborside Secrets mystery series, one woman’s diehard quest to find justice against lethal odds… before she’s the next one in the killer’s crosshairs.
