Carol knew she’d messed up big-time. The look in this man’s eyes was eerie. Like a gator appearing to snooze lazily in the swamp, his body buried just beneath the surface while he lurked for prey.

“What do you know about that dead girl?” Will asked.

“The police aren’t talking,” she said. “I’m not sure they have a clue. Did you know her?”

He folded his hand on the table, an odd look on his face. “No, never met her.”

His fingers closed around a pin in his hand. A drop of blood dripped from his palm.

Her eyes were glued to the blood. Like a cutter, he needed to punish himself. To rid himself of the pain.

Then his eyes became sinister, darting across her face. “What are you looking at?”

“Nothing.” She jerked her gaze back to the wall of animal heads and shivered again at the eyes staring back at her. “Are you a hunter, Will?”

The wary look turned to one of . . . pride?

“Yeah. Matter of fact, I am.”

“You shot some of these?”

“A couple. But I preserved all of them.”

“You’re a taxidermist?”

A smile twitched at his mouth, drawing her gaze to the small jagged scar at the corner of his lip. “Yeah. You want to see my studio?”

He made it sound like a joke, but a bad premonition took root in her gut.

“Maybe some other time. I . . . have to go now.” Hands trembling for reasons she didn’t even know, except that her instincts warned her this guy was dangerous, she removed her wallet, tossed some cash on the table, then grabbed her keys. “It was nice meeting you.”

“You too,” he murmured, although his voice sounded odd, and he closed his hand around the pin again. Another drop of blood fell to the table, making her stomach churn.

She gave him a fake smile and headed to the door. Her keys were braced between her fingers the way she’d learned in self-defense classes, and she hit the Unlock button for her car a few feet away, jogging toward it as the wind whistled shrilly through the night.

The parking lot was nearly vacant, but gravel and snow crunched behind her, and she whirled around, her keys ready.

But he pounced, shoved something over her face, then pressed a stun gun to her neck.

She tried to scream but felt herself jerking and spinning, then sinking as if the murky water of the bayou was sucking her underneath.
