When a body is discovered in a field in Iowa, the police uncover fourteen additional corpses ranging from 20 years old to recent. The remains point to a serial killer with an MO the authorities have seen before–Ed Oliphant, a man who has been in prison for over 20 years . . . and is Special Agent Kaely Quinn’s father. After several failed interview attempts to discover if Ed has been training someone to be a copycat killer, the police turn to Kaely in St. Louis.
Kaely promised herself she would never step foot in her hometown or set eyes on her father again. She’s always refused to confront her past, but if she wants to prevent any more deaths, she must come face-to-face with the man she’s hated for years.
As more bodies are discovered, Kaely races against time and her own personal turmoil to uncover the killer. Will this most personal case yet cost Kaely her identity and perhaps even her life?

Summary
From: Rebecca Maney
Book Title: Dead End
Book Author: Nancy Mehl
What do you like about this book:
3.5stars
"Punishing the children for the sin of the parents."
What kind of sick message was this killer sending, putting the words of Scripture inside the mouths of his victims? It was already nearly incomprehensible that Kailey Quinn's father could have possibly trained a protege. But hard evidence was pointing in that direction.
As an F. B. I. Special Agent, Kailey knows how to analyze behavior, but to be asked to interview her own father . . . a convicted psychopathic serial killer? At a risk to her own psyche, she agrees, teaming with the one man whom she trusts more than any other, Noah Hunter. But even Noah has his doubts about Kailey's clarity of mind; can she prove him otherwise . . . or will this encounter with the infamous Ed Oliphant become a "dead end"? It's a race against time, for young women are continuing to die.
"In the dark of night, I'll be there. I love you so, and I'll never let you go." This book will leave many of Mehl's readers requesting an encore performance from these two memorably unique teammates.
