From the publisher

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.
