Debt Collector (John Lee Quarrels #14)

A serial rapist is stalking women from coast to coast. His vicious attacks and the way he leaves them brutalized and humiliated are shattering lives from Washington State to the East Coast. The victims include an office worker, a housewife, a radio advertising salesperson, an employee at a military base, and a doctor's assistant at a medical office. The only thing the victims seem to have in common is that they all received a mysterious note before the attacks that said, "You Owe Me." Where will the predator strike next?

As police investigate the crimes, a civilian employee working at the FBI's VICAP headquarters realizes the women all have a connection leading back to their youths. They all come from a small town in the Florida Panhandle called Somerton.

Unaware of the threat to former residents living out of state, Somerton County Deputies John Lee Quarrels and Maddy Westfall are helping with the investigation into the death of a well-known and popular local woman they both knew. Was it suicide, as it first appeared to be? Or did something much more sinister happen in their little town? And who will be next? The answer comes in a deadly and terrifying confrontation that may claim the lives of two more women, both with a romantic connection to John Lee.

As sultry as a Florida back road in August, as mysterious as the South's live oak trees dripping with Spanish moss, and as deadly as a copperhead strike, Debt Collector, the fourteenth book in New York Times bestselling author Nick Russell's John Lee Quarrels, series is sure to hook you from the first page and keep you reading late into the night.
