J a Sanborn

Death Comes to Ely J a Sanborn

A large farm in the village of Ely is located in the city of Middlefield, Georgia. Owned by farmer Jeffrey Waters, Ely becomes the focal point for an investigation when Waters takes a walk one evening with his dog and is later found dead. Surveyors hired by the new farm owners discover human bones in a depression in one of the old Waters' farm hayfields. Karen Hunter and the Middlefield MCU find that eighteen other depressions contain human gravesites also. A forensic anthropologist from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation determines that all the gravesites remains are those of women who unfortunately cannot be readily identified due to their mutilation. During the investigation, several letters are received by the MCU from a man calling himself, Baphomet, who claims he is the killer. Human bones are also found along a jogging trail in McCrery Park in Middlefield. Karen and the GBI believe that they have more than one killer operating in Middlefield. One of Karen's female detectives in the MCU, Carol Morgan goes missing. Karen works feverishly to decipher the sinister messages to identify the killer and save Carol. Will she succeed?
