Book excerpt: A serial killer offers to help a detective find the criminal copying his work in this smalltown thriller by a New York Times–bestselling author. Five years ago, three young victims were found murdered, posed like little angels. No witnesses, no evidence left behind. The Sleeping Angel Killer called his despicable acts “the perfect crimes.” The case nearly destroyed homicide detective Kitt Lundgren’s career—because she let the killer get away. Now the Sleeping Angel Killer is back. But Kitt notices something different about this new rash of killings—a tiny variation that suggests a copycat killer may be re-creating the original “perfect crimes.” Then the unthinkable happens. The Sleeping Angel Killer himself approaches Kitt with a bizarre offer: he will help her catch his copycat. Kitt must decide whether to place her trust in a murderer—or risk falling victim to a fiend who has taken the art of the perfect murder to horrific new heights. Praise for Copycat “Bloodcurdling. . . . Spindler’s setting of a “meat-and-potatoes” Midwest town provides a fresh background for two believable and very cool investigators. . . . A breathless finale.” —Publishers Weekly “[An] extremely effective thriller is replete with murder, betrayal, suffering and redemption, and Erica Spindler is at the top of her game in this riveting tale of psychological suspense.” —Fresh Fiction
