Death's Lullaby (Nightingale Series Book 1)

If you hear her voice... you’re dead.

When the serial killer known as Nightingale begins leaving behind a trail of bodies and a haunting song before every murder, Detective Nell Craftmen—Chicago’s greatest detective—takes on the case of finding the person responsible along with any potential accomplices. But as Nell searches for answers, he discovers a killer who always seems one step ahead and a mystery built on secrets, deception, and a past that refuses to stay buried.

Loid Kingston never expected to become involved in Chicago’s most terrifying investigation. A mechanic living a quiet life, Loid is drawn into Nell’s search for the truth and helps uncover the secrets surrounding Nightingale’s murders. But the deeper he gets, the more his own life becomes connected to the case—especially when it comes to Aira, his upstairs neighbor who recently moved into the same apartment building.

Loid thought he was beginning to understand the woman who had entered his life, but when Nell starts suspecting Aira because of her natural talent for singing, everything begins to change. Loid refuses to believe the woman he is growing to love could be responsible for the crimes she is accused of committing. As Nell’s suspicions grow, Loid’s determination to defend Aira never wavers, and the two find themselves on opposite sides of the investigation.

Despite being at odds, Loid and Nell must work to uncover the truth behind Nightingale before more lives are lost. But the closer they get to the killer, the more they realize these murders may be connected to something far more personal than they ever imagined. Because finding the killer is only the beginning. The real question is who will survive the truth hidden behind her songs.
