The Principal (Talli McAlister, #1)

FACE TO FACE WITH A KILLER

Talli did not run.

She knew better than to think she could escape through speed.

It wasn't over.

He would be coming for her now.

She didn't think she would have long to wait.

She stepped into the house and closed the door. She was surprised to see a fire crackling in the fireplace.

With trembling fingers, she unbuttoned her coat and let it drop to the kitchen floor.

Then she heard the sound of the door and froze.
