Crime Denied: A Buck Taylor Novel

A Gripping Psychological Thriller Set in the Heart of Aspen, Colorado

Alicia Hawkins was never the monster you expected. She didn’t torture animals as a child. She didn’t grow up dreaming of blood. But now she’s returned to Aspen—and she’s hunting again.

Behind the snow‑dusted luxury of Aspen’s ski resorts and million‑dollar chalets, a new predator stalks the shadows. Alicia is brilliant, beautiful, and utterly lethal. Every move she makes is fueled by a dark promise she made to her dying grandfather—a legacy of violence she intends to fulfill at any cost.

When Colorado Bureau of Investigation agent Buck Taylor receives a message carved into a victim’s flesh, he’s thrust into the most personal case of his career. Alicia isn’t just killing. She’s communicating. And she wants Buck’s attention.

As the body count rises and the investigation tightens, Buck uncovers a chilling truth: Alicia has evolved into a top‑tier serial killer—one who studies her prey, manipulates her surroundings, and anticipates every move law enforcement makes. And when one of Buck’s closest friends becomes her next target, the hunt turns into a race against time.

Can Buck stop her before she strikes again—or will Alicia’s legacy of death become unstoppable?
