The Longest Night Zachary Strupp

Candice Brooks is a twenty-six-year-old sheriff's secretary obsessed with true crime. She doesn't have much of a life outside of her dead-end job and her podcasts. Having grown up as one of the only African American kids in a small, deep-south town, she hasn't developed many meaningful relationships. One night after Candice reports to work, a local politician wanders into the sheriff's office covered in blood. He and his young son were the only survivors of a massacre. When Candice attempts to radio the state police, communication goes down, the officers investigating the crime scene are butchered, and Candice finds herself face to face with an infamous serial killer. With the sheriff's office on lockdown until dawn and with the bodies piling up, only one thing seems certain-it's going to be a long night. This standalone sequel to the Killing Heart ratchets up the horror. This mind-bending thriller will keep you on edge until the very end. If you liked the Killing Heart, you will love The Longest Night.
