Reader’s Circle: A Perfect Evil by Alex Kava
June 28, 2017 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
Douglas County Historical Society’s monthly book club, Reader’s Circle, announces its June meeting which will be on Wednesday, June 28 at Noon at the General Crook House Museum.
June’s book will be A Perfect Evil by Bess Alex Kava. This book is an official selection of the Nebraska 150 Celebrations.
The brutal murders of three young boys paralyze the citizens of Platte City, Nebraska. What’s worse is the grim realization that the man recently executed for the crimes was a copycat. When Sheriff Nick Morrelli is called to the scene of another grisly murder, it becomes clear that the real predator is still at large, waiting to kill again. Morrelli understands the urgency of the case terrorizing his community, but it’s the experienced eye of FBI criminal profiler Maggie O’Dell that pinpoints the true nature of the evil behind the killings―a revelation made all the more horrific when Morrelli’s own nephew goes missing. Maggie understands something else: the killer is enjoying himself, relishing his ability to stay one step ahead of her, making this case more personal by the hour. Because out there, watching, is a killer with a heart of pure and perfect evil.
Reader’s Circle meets on the last Wednesday of each month except for December and selects books that are either from a Douglas County author or relate to Douglas County history. However, in honor of the state’s sesquicentennial celebrations the scope is being expanded to include selections on the Nebraska 150 official reading list.
Attendees to each meeting will be offered coffee along with an assorted tray of treats provided by local favorite, Dugger’s Café.
