Senseless by Mary Burton

There is a deranged killer out there, stabbing and branding the victims. Eva Rayburn is trying to start over, working three jobs, and wanting to save enough to go to school. Feeling she has paid for her alleged crime, she keeps a low profile. When two of the victims appear to be connected to her from her past, she is more frightened than ever. She doesn't trust the cops or the news media. Her sister hasn't talked to her in 10 years. Who is the murderer? Can she trust Alexandria City homicide detective Deacon Garrison? Not too bad for a gory murder-mystery.
