One of the most addictive new series heroines since Stephanie Plum.--The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Atlanta private investigator and ex-FBI profiler Keye Street wants nothing more than time alone with her boyfriend, Aaron--but, as usual, murder gets in the way. A.P.D. Lieutenant Aaron Rauser is called to the disturbing scene of the strangling death of a thirteen-year-old boy. Meanwhile, Keye, a recovering alcoholic, must deal with her emotionally fragile cousin, who has her own history of drug abuse and is now convinced that she is being stalked. But all hell breaks loose when another murder--the apparent hanging of an elderly man--hits disturbingly close to home for Keye. Though the two victims have almost nothing in common, there are bizarre similarities between this case and that of Aaron's strangled teen. With the threat of more deaths to come, Keye works on pure instinct alone--and soon realizes that a killer is circling ever closer to the people she loves the most. Praise for Amanda Kyle Williams and Stranger in the Room Keye Street remains the most interesting, cynically funny and smart series detective today. . . . The tension buzzes like cicadas on a hot Georgia night and the pace is relentless.--Seattle Post-Intelligencer The best fictional female P.I. since Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone.--The Plain Dealer Keye Street immediately puts herself in the top echelon of suspense heroes. She's a mess of fascinating contradictions--effortlessly brilliant on a case, totally inept in managing her own life. She is brutally funny and powerfully human--one of the most realistic protagonists in crime fiction that I've had the thrill to read.--Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of Last to Die There's a new voice in Atlanta, and her name is Amanda Kyle Williams--captivating, powerful and compelling.--Julia Spencer-Fleming, New York Times bestselling author of One Was a Soldier Readers of this fast-paced thriller will be eager for the next Street tale.--Publishers Weekly.…
