THE BUTCHER - Jennifer Hillier

THE BUTCHER

"Top-of-the-line thriller writing . . . you might want to lock the door, just to be safe." ~ Jeffery Deaver, New York Times bestselling author

Click to read the rave reviews!

Edward Shank is retired, widowed, and living a boring life in the old folks' home. The former Chief of Police is a Seattle legend, having gunned down the infamous Beacon Hill Butcher back in 1985, finally putting an end to the grisly serial murders that plagued the Pacific Northwest for over a decade. Now eighty years old with a bad hip, Edward spends his days playing Bingo and watching TV, his glory days long behind him.

Matt, Edward's grandson, chose to carve out his own path to success by becoming Seattle's top chef. The owner of a popular restaurant and a half dozen food trucks, Matt is about to become the star of his own TV show. Everything is going his way, until he discovers a locked crate buried in the backyard of his grandfather's old house that contains a family secret so gruesome, his entire life - and everything he's worked for - will be destroyed if it ever gets out. Matt decides it's best to keep the secret, but his girlfriend Sam might make that impossible.

Samantha Marquez always believed her mother was murdered by the Beacon Hill Butcher back in 1987, and she's spent most of her adult life trying to prove it. The only problem? The Butcher was shot and killed two years before her mother's death.

Or was he? The murders are starting again . . .

 

TOP OF THE LINE SUSPENSE: Suspense called Creep "one of the best novels of 2011." Kirkus said Freak was "Taut and fraught with surprise twists...addictive” and the National Post called it “difficult to put down.” PW called it a "frightening debut...packs a considerable wallop." Booklist called it "an engaging thriller, with the kind of twisted story that makes you a bit queasy even as you can’t look away...Hillier nicely keeps readers on their toes."

NEW CHARACTERS, SAME WORLD: The Butcher gives us a whole new set of characters from Jennifer Hillier, and a gripping plot about a grandson who realizes to his horror that his grandfather was an infamous serial killer from the 80s. The characters live in the same world, in the same city (Seattle) as the characters from Creep and Freak.

PRAISE FROM BESTSELLING AUTHORS: Robert Dugoni said of Freak: "I was engrossed on page one, couldn’t put the book down and breathless at the ending...This one blew me away." Jeffery Deaver praised Creep: "Top of the line writing.. You better call in sick, because you're not going anywhere until you finish reading it. Oh, and you might want to lock the door, too. Just to be safe."

EXPANDED PLATFORM: Hillier is getting more recognition in the thriller world: as a member of Thriller Writers of America, she has been on panels and signed books at Thrillerfest 2011, 2012, and 2013.

WEB AND SOCIAL MEDIA SAVVY: Hillier has a popular first class website steeped in the thriller genre, and she tweets, blogs and posts to FB regularly. Visit her at www.jenniferhillier.org
