Description: "Deputy Sheriff Lou Ford is a pillar of the community in his small Texas town: patient, polite and well liked. Some people think he's a little slow and boring, and that's the worst they say about him. But then, nobody knows about the sickness. It nearly got Lou put away when he was younger, and now the sickness is about to surface again. Only this time, Lou's family aren't around to keep an eye on him. When the list of people who end up dead in Central City increases, Lou Ford faces some very difficult questions. Will those who start to wonder about their affable Deputy Sheriff connect the sinsiter events in his past to the town's violent present? Instantly gripping and often disturbing, The Killer Inside Me is a classic suspense novel." --
