| Introduction | I’m a Kansan by residence, a Missourian by retirement, a Louisianan by birth, Southern by the grace of God, a Tybee Islander at heart and the author of By the Light: A Novel of Serial Homicide. It is a fabric of suspense highlighted with threads of romance and follows a man and woman drawn into the pursuit of a serial killer that leaves two nude bodies at the foot of the Biloxi Lighthouse. The man is a profiler who returned to the Mississippi Gulf Coast to care for his Alzheimer’s-stricken father. The woman is an Atlanta crime reporter whose curiosity is piqued when she spots a wire report of the double homicide in her hometown. They have a past. As they discover from the corpses of couple after couple at lighthouse after lighthouse, so does a murderer that eliminates practitioners of infidelity and by signature comes to be known as Rose. |
