Havoc-on-Hudson Bernice Gottlieb

As a real estate broker greets a classy, well-dressed visitor at an Open House in upscale Hudson Hills, she has no idea that minutes later he will pin her against the wall, yank up her skirt, and clamp his gloved hand over her nose and mouth. The unwitting victim is only saved from a catastrophic fate by the young couple who abruptly appear at the door. When another broker is found beaten, raped, and left for dead in the basement of a vacant house she had been showing to a prospective buyer, the peace and tranquility of the picturesque Hudson River Valley is shattered and suddenly becomes an unsafe place for real estate agents.

In this riveting thriller, Maggie Mitty, a prominent Hudson Hills Realtor(R), is caught off guard when the newly-hired police chief asks for her help in solving the case. With local brokers paralyzed by fear, and a potential serial rapist on the loose, Maggie has her job cut out for her. But after she discovers a murdered colleague in a Jacuzzi, Maggie realizes that she is up against more than she had bargained for -- a psychopath with an insatiable thirst for blood.
