When FBI Special Agent Kendall Beck’s investigation into an alleged pedophile goes sideways after her best friend, Gwen, goes missing and then turns up floating face-down in a nearby lake, she then must summon reserves she never knew she had when a serial killer from her past, “the Reaper,” resurfaces to claim his only victim that ever got away—Kendall.

That’s how former attorney Leanne Kale Sparks’ new book, “The Wrong Woman,” published in February by Crooked Lane Books, begins. Sparks continues the tale by weaving a story of murder and mayhem set against the backdrop of her youth, a place she will always call home–the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
