Crime author Ann Rule wrote, "Fatal Flowers is a chillingly authentic look into the blackest depths of a psychopath's fantasies. Not for the faint-hearted . . . Smith is a cop who has been there and a writer on his way straight up. Read this on a night when you don't need to sleep . . . 'cause you won't. Fatal Flowers will make the Silence of the Lambs seem almost tame." In the best tradition of suspense, thriller, and mystery novels, this crime novel grips you from the first page. Ellie Hartley knew she was lucky to be alive. The killer followed her from the airport, then he set her free. But why? Because he's not finished with her yet. Or her baby daughter. He's sending her flowers to prove it. Fatal Flowers.
