About this title: A woman is frantic as she awakens in a dark, closed space. From above her comes the muffled sound of cruel laughter, followed by the hard splatter of dirt. Pure terror takes over as she realizes she's being buried alive, and her last breath is a scream that no one but a sadistic killer will hear. To journalist Nikki Gillette, this disturbing story is a ticket out of small - town Savannah and on to the big time. She's already given the killer a nickname - The Grave Robber - and she's spending every minute dogging tough cop Pierce Reed's investigation, trailing him through Savannah's deep ...

"Another serial killer is stalking Savannah, this one kills his victims by drugging them then putting them in a coffin with another already dead body and burying them alive. He so enjoys his work that he places a microphone in the casket and tape records their dying screams. The second book with police detective Pierce Reed and his partner, this book also goes deeper into the history of reporter Nikki Gillette, who sees these murders as her ticket to the big city and a job with a prestigious newspaper, until the murderer strikes too close to home and targets her loved ones and herself.
Once again we have a killer with a vendetta, on a mission as it were, calling himself The Survivor and being dubbed by Nikki Gillette, 'the Grave Robber'. This book has many twists and turns. The biggest one being who the murderer is and his reasons for killing. Without spoiling the book, Jackson gives a clue all along with a question the characters keep asking, although I didn't realize this until the end when the murderer was revealed. Jackson is gifted at taking a 'plot' I have read a 'million' times before and giving it a new spin. That is why I keep coming back."
"I thought this was well-written and unique. I've found many suspense writers find a template they like, and work from it. If you've ever read John Lutz, you know what I'm talking about--all of his books read the same after a while.
After reading several by Lisa Jackson, I was starting to fear that she might fall into that same category. This book proved me wrong. She mentions several of her other characters in this book as passer-bys, and when I came across their names I almost did a double-take, wondering why they were referenced in this book, and it reminded me that it was written by the same author.
The book was nothing I've read by her before, it held my interest, and was a fast read. I didn't want to put this down."
"I have always liked reading Lisa Jackson and this was another great book. The story line started out a little slow but speed up about 6 chapters into it. The story is about a withdrawn cop and an eger jourilist that the killer connects, the people also bveing murdered are connect and the two have to work together to find the killer before he get to the next wictim or one of them fall into his trap."
