THE SAM KYLE MYSTERIES: Book Three: Billy's Boots Sam Kyle, Detective with the Boyle County Kentucky Sheriff's Office, is back with ex-wife Carolyn, the love of his life. Serial killer Amy Phelps is in prison without the possibility of parole. Sam and Carolyn eagerly await the birth of a baby. Sam learns Amy has appealed her conviction on the grounds that her confession was coerced by Sam Kyle, the arresting officer, who was at the time her lover. Well, Sam, you thought you were home free. Sorry. You didn't escape the nightmare. You're still in it. There will be legal limbo, a roller coaster ride of relief and worry, a child in danger, three more murders, a face to face confrontation with a killer, and a dramatic disappearance into a dark lake.
