Book Review
“Buried”
by Ellison Cooper
Senior Special Agent
Sayer Altair studies the
minds of psychopaths.
But even she didn’t expect
to uncover a killer within
the Federal Bureau of In-
vestigation. Rooting him
out and exposing internal
corruption got her a bullet
wound and six months of
desk duty. Now she’s final-
ly back in the field, called
in when an off-duty FBI
agent and his cadaver dog
fall into a sinkhole filled
with human bones.
Found deep in Virgin-
ia’s Shenandoah National
Park, the skeletal remains
date back almost two de-
cades, the same time a
beloved local teen dis-
appeared. The cold case
quickly heats up when
Sayer’s team finds two
fresh corpses among the
bones. When a gruesome
clue ties these new bod-
ies to a woman recently
kidnapped along with her
young daughter, Sayer has
to uncover the connection
between the old bones and
the new bodies before the
mother and child become
the next victims.
News about the Siuslaw Public Library by Kevin Mittge
But the killer is one
step ahead, attacking her
team and sabotaging their
efforts. With her investi-
gation compromised and
Sayer unsure of who to
trust, she receives unwant-
ed help from Subject 037,
one of the anonymous
psychopaths she is cur-
rently studying. She has
the chilling realization
that he’s someone power-
ful in Washington, D.C.
— and he is not about to
let a mundane serial killer
jeopardize his own omi-
nous agenda for Sayer …

for the COVID-19 vaccine won’t schedule you an ap-
pointment but it will put
you on the list of interest-

will be in touch with more
information; and it also
gives the county a better
idea of who is ready to
receive the vaccine when
it’s available, and where to
schedule clinics.

we can always print out a
form for you that you can

hours.
