Four years ago in Buford, Georgia, the Grave Digger serial killer buried Lisa Langley alive; however, unlike his four previous victims, FBI Special Agent Brad Booker and his partner Ethan Manning arrive in time to save her life. The culprit William White was caught and convicted. Nine months later he was killed in a prison fight.
Lisa relocated to Ellijay, Georgia to start over under the name Long as a preschool teacher. Brad who was halfway in love with her, kept an eye on Lisa from a distance as he assumes she blames him for her near death.
However, a new homicide occurs that has all the MO of the Grave Digger, except the victim is buried alive with a cross instead of a white rose. Brad and Ethan investigate the copy cat murderer, with the former vowing nothing will happen to Lisa this time as he knows he still loves her and will die to keep her safe.
IN A HEARTBEAT is an exhilarating police procedural romantic suspense that moves rather quickly once the second wave of murders occurs, and it never loses a beat until the final confrontation. Brad is a fascinating character who blames himself for Lisa's near death experience even though he saved her life. The final spin seems stretched, though the evidence goes to the heart of the copy cat crimes; fans will appreciate this tense thriller, wondering whether history will repeat itself except with a different ending.
