Stone Maidens by Lloyd Devereux Richards

A tense psychological thriller in which a string of brutal murders mirrors child homicides from decades earlier, prompting a determined investigator and a grieving family member to race against time to discover whether the original killer—long presumed dead—has returned or inspired a copycat. Their search uncovers cryptic clues, ritualistic elements and long-buried secrets that implicate unlikely people and institutions, forcing them to confront trauma, moral ambiguity and escalating danger as the investigation hurtles toward a shocking confrontation and revelations.
