Join to discuss: The Hollywood Strangler (Venator Cold Case Series Book 3) by Nathan Dylan Goodwin

In the glitzy, gritty underbelly of 1980s Los Angeles, a chilling series of murders left the city gripped with fear. Six small-time actors and actresses met brutal ends; their bodies grotesquely posed in scenes from the films that had given them their fleeting fame. The Hollywood Strangler evaded capture, leaving behind only a trace of DNA and a legacy of terror. Decades later, the case remains ice-cold, a favorite for true-crime aficionados but a nightmare for detectives. The LAPD Cold Case Homicide Unit, desperate for a breakthrough on this case, turns to Venator, an elite investigative genetic genealogy company headed up by Madison Scott-Barnhart. Knowing the media storm that the case will attract, Madison reluctantly agrees to take on the investigation, where she and her small team must use their forensic genetic genealogy skills to identify one of the most infamous serial killers in U.S. history. But only if the remaining DNA proves sufficient to test…

This is the third novel in the Venator Cold Case series, although it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story.  We will be discussing with Nathan Dylan Goodwin how this book was helped and influenced by "I Know Who You Are" by Barbara Rae-Venter.
