When a young woman dies suddenly inside her Grand Rapids apartment, detectives suspect natural causes. There are no signs of violence. No witnesses. No clear explanation.
Then the medical examiner discovers a tiny puncture mark.
By then, the killer is already gone.
While Grand Rapids detectives struggle to piece together Bella Black’s final days, the man responsible sits unnoticed inside a Dublin coffee shop reading newspaper coverage of the case he left behind. But the farther he runs — from Ireland to Africa — the closer the investigation gets.
And no one can run forever.
The Murder of Bella Black is an international crime thriller about obsession, murder, and the relentless pursuit of a killer determined to outrun justice.
Obsession. Murder. The relentless pursuit of a killer determined to outrun justice.
