For Archie Sheridan, the damaged hero of Chelsea Cain's four New York Times best-selling novels, surviving days of torture at the hands of beautiful serial killer Gretchen Lowell was only the beginning. Gretchen's been in the hands of the law, off and on, for years, but in Kill You Twice, she proves as dangerous as ever.

Now locked away in a mental hospital, Gretchen continues to play her manipulative games with an increasing resistant Archie. But when Archie gets called in to investigate a horrific new murder, a man has been skinned alive in a secluded part of a public park, Gretchen's pleas to Archie become more frantic. She actually has information about the killer he can use, and she may have something to gain from his capture. Archie meets with Gretchen to find her as manipulative as ever but also truly suffering, and possibly in deteriorating health. Archie soon realizes that he’s not the only one facing demons from the past.

Chelsea Cain's first four novels featuring Archie Sheridan have all been New York Times bestsellers. Also the author of Confessions of a Teen Sleuth, a parody based on the life of Nancy Drew, and several nonfiction titles, she was born in Iowa, raised in Bellingham, Washington, and now lives in Portland, Oregon.

Chelsea Cain reads from The Night Season.

Chelsea Cain signs The Night Season With the Beauty Killer Gretchen Lowell locked away behind bars once again, Archie Sheridan—a Portland police detective and nearly one of her victims—can finally rest a little easier. Meanwhile, the rest of the city of Portland is in crisis. Heavy rains have flooded the Willamette River, and several people have drowned in the quickly rising waters. Or at least that’s what they thought until the medical examiner discovers that the latest victim didn’t drown: She was poisoned before she went into the water. Soon after, three of those drownings are also proven to be murders. Portland has a new serial killer on its hands, and Archie and his task force have a new case. Reporter Susan Ward is chasing this story of a new serial killer with gusto, but she’s also got another lead to follow for an entirely separate mystery: The flooding has unearthed a skeleton, a man who might have died more than sixty years ago, the last time Portland flooded this badly, when the water washed away an entire neighborhood and killed at least fifteen people. With Archie following the bizarre trail of evidence and evil deeds to catch a killer and possibly regain his life, and Susan Ward close behind, Chelsea Cain—one of today’s most talented suspense writers—launches the next installment of her bestselling series with an electric thriller.
