About this series
Hidden in the shadows of an East Texas pine forest, a man and a woman watch worshippers file out of a church. The man lights a match, and flames erupt, climbing the thirsty clapboard walls, as the pastor trapped inside pleads for divine intervention and human help that never comes. Meanwhile Texas Ranger Lieutenant Sarah Armstrong sketches the memories of a serial killer, as he describes the faces of his victims. Following his clues, Sarah guides the search for the remains of young women long dead and buried in unmarked graves. Then from behind prison walls, the serial killer attempts to claim yet another victim, a woman who risked everything to escape his lethal grasp. She fought him and lived once before, but now only Sarah can save her, a quest that will plunge them both into the fires of hell. A pulse-pounding thriller, THE BURIED takes readers inside Texas' Death Row and the minds of two twisted serial killers.

- Singularity: Sarah Armstrong Mysteries, #1
1
The call comes in on a Friday afternoon, a bizarre double murder in Galveston, in a multimillion-dollar beach house. Local police hold the scene, moving nothing, until Texas Ranger Sarah Armstrong arrives. Even crime photos won't do these bloody murders justice. They're like nothing Armstrong has ever encountered as the Ranger's lone criminal profiler. Thus begins a whirlwind investigation into a string of murders that propels Armstrong across Texas, from a Fort Worth mansion to Texas' Rio Grande Valley, from a San Antonio barrio to the piney woods of the Big Thicket, and into the epicenter of Houston high society. Still reeling from a loss that fractured her family, Sarah Armstrong soon finds her world spinning out of control and everything she holds dear threatened, even her very life.

Readers loved Sarah Armstrong, the feisty and vulnerable profiler in Kathryn Casey's first mystery, Singularity. She's back in this second book in the series with her hands full with two cases at once: A persistent and potentially lethal stalker pursues pop mega-star Cassidy Collins, and a high-energy Houston businesswoman is found dead in her house. Though the businesswoman's death is being called a suicide, when Sarah is shown photographs of the scene, something seems off. It looks too perfect, almost staged, and Billie Cox had every reason to want to life. The victim's sister is convinced Billie was murdered and urges Sarah to take a closer look. During her investigation, Sarah uncovers a multimillion-dollar scam and traces a trail of greed. Meanwhile, teenage idol Cassidy receives threatening e-mails and text messages and hears creepy whispers over her headset at performances. Cassie's next performance is at a Houston rodeo, for which her handlers request extra security. Sarah once again teams up with FBI agent David Garrity, and together they plot to outwit and capture the stalker, but at the concert the unthinkable happens... Kathryn Casey spins a tight plot with memorable characters and great action scenes while paying close attention to Sarah's struggles as a widow and mother. The result is a multilayered exciting and satisfying read.
- The Killing Storm: Sarah Armstrong Mysteries, #3
3
On a quiet afternoon in Houston, 4-year-old Joey Warner plays in a park sandbox when a stranger approaches looking for his runaway dog. While Joey's mom, Crystal, talks on her cell phone, the stranger convinces the child to help him search. By the time Crystal turns around, her son has disappeared. Yet her reaction is odd, not what one would expect from a distraught mother. Is Crystal Warner somehow involved in her son's abduction? Meanwhile, on a cattle ranch outside Houston, Texas Ranger and profiler Sarah Armstrong assesses a symbol left on the hide of a slaughtered longhorn, a figure that dates back to a forgotten era of sugarcane plantations and slavery. Soon, other prize-winning bulls are found butchered on the outskirts of the city, each bearing a new but similar symbol. Before long, the two investigations converge at the same time a catastrophic hurricane threatens. One of Sarah's close friends is murdered, and the clock ticks as the storm moves in. If Sarah doesn't act quickly, the child will die. Kathryn Casey delivers a fast-paced, exciting third case for Sarah Armstrong, one of the pluckiest and most complex female investigators to come along in a long time.
