The thrilling third novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Dr. Wren Muller series from Alaina Urquhart
Two months after the life-altering events of The Butcher Game, Wren is back in the place she knows best: the New Orleans morgue. She buries herself in routine, surrounded by both familiar and new company, John Leroux and Maya Rodriguez, trying to convince herself that normalcy can be rebuilt. But in the weeks leading up to Halloween, shadows begin to move again as young girls vanish in both cities where Jeremy Rose once ran rampant.
Hundreds of miles away, the pastor to a close-knit congregation in Massachusetts Philip Trudeau is back behind the pulpit. But beneath his practiced composure lies something sinister—gruesome secrets and a hunger that did not die when Jeremy was caged.
With Jeremy behind bars and Philip suddenly nowhere to be found, Wren and Leroux must mobilize, and this twisted triangle clashes at every turn. The Butcher Legacy is a relentless, page-turning descent into the dark.

Praise for The Butcher Legacy
-
“The Butcher Legacy is a real thriller—and Dr. Wren Muller is a fiery female protagonist that Scarpetta would call friend. I can imagine the two of them working a case together—what a ride that would be!”
Patricia Cornwell -
“The Butcher Legacy is razor-sharp entertainment and brilliantly written. A top-notch thriller that kept me turning the pages long into the night, it’s as smart as it is suspenseful.”
Richard Chizmar, New York Times bestselling author of Chasing the Boogeyman -
“In The Butcher Legacy, Alaina Urquhart delivers a relentlessly dark thriller that escalates with unnerving confidence. Her prose is sharp and unsentimental, driving the story forward with a mounting sense of inevitability and moral rot. This is a book unafraid to stare directly at violence, obsession, and the damage left behind by men who believe they’re righteous. Cold, propulsive, and deeply disturbing, The Butcher Legacy doesn’t flinch.”
Carter Wilson, USA Today bestselling author of Tell Me What You Did
