If you're the kind of true crime fan who can't stop thinking about the clues everyone else overlooks,

Lisa Jackson's new thriller, not what it seems, belongs at the top of your reading list.

Set in the eerie marshes of coastal Georgia, this slow burn thriller begins with what looks like a tragic accident,

but when investigators discover a polished stone, marked with a bloody number and a mysterious

symbol beside the victim's body, a far more sinister story starts to emerge.

As more bodies appear and more cryptic stones are left behind, crime reported Nikki Gillette

finds herself chasing a killer whose motives are as puzzling as his calling cards.

The deeper she digs, the more dangerous the investigation becomes,

especially when she realizes that the monster she's hunting may be hiding in plain sight.

From No. 1 New York Times best-selling author Lisa Jackson,

not what it seems is a chilling Southern Gothic thriller, packed with secrets, obsession, and a killer who always seems to be one step ahead. Pick up Not What It Seems wherever books are sold.
