The Thriller Millions of Fans Have Been Awaiting…
Deeper Than The Dead
By Tami Hoag, NY Times Best Seller

 Whether you know Tami Hoag from her early days as a romance writer who penned sixteen novels in five years, from her first thriller and TV movie, 'Night Sins', which still airs frequently, or from her thirteen consecutive New York Times bestsellers – you know her name.

After a two year hiatus Hoag returns with her latest, DEEPER THAN THE DEAD, one of those rare novels that continually ups the stakes as you feverishly turn the pages until the wee hours. It's a tale made all the richer by Hoag’s two careers as a romance and suspense writer and by her unique ability to write about relationships while weaving a sharp, fast-paced, thrilling plot. It’s a storyline made even more elaborate and nuanced by its setting in 1985 - before cell phones, DNA technology and criminal profiling.

Set in a small California town, DEEPER THAN THE DEAD opens when four children, running in the woods behind their school, stumble upon a partially buried female body, her eyes and mouth glued shut and ear-drums pierced. Close behind the children is their teacher, Anne Navarre, who takes it upon herself to help them through this trauma and try to prevent any long-term psychological damage. Anne soon finds herself more involved with the children, the children’s parents, the community and the FBI investigator brought in to consult on the case, than she could have anticipated. As new victims are found it becomes increasingly clear that this small, quiet community, has a calculating serial killer on their hands, one that knows them all intimately. In DEEPER THAN THE DEAD, Hoag poses this chilling question to readers: Do you ever really know the people you love?
