The last thing homicide detective Joe Erickson needs is to get involved in murder investigation. On a medical leave from Chicago PD after developing acute stress disorder, he has returned to his hometown in Iowa to settle his father's estate.
But when he learns two teenage girls in neighboring towns have been abducted, murdered, and found posed nude along a riverbank, he takes notice. And when his former lover and criminal profiler is brought in to consult, she talks him into joining the investigation.
Known for employing unorthodox methods, Joe throws himself headlong into a case that will test his mental stamina. But when another girl is abducted, his razor-sharp intuition and keen investigative skills kick into high gear as he races against time to find her before she becomes the killer's third victim.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Even though this character [Joe Erickson] is introduced to the world in this novel, I began to feel as though I knew him in the first chapters of the book. Mr. Johanson did an excellent job of quickly setting up the premise of the mystery, while also introducing us to the principal characters and places...I highly recommend this novel, and I hope there will be more to come." - Lynn Thompson, The Voice

"A twisty tale of a parent's worst nightmare, Rose's Thorn reminds us of the cost of our past actions and that small towns aren't as safe as they seem." - Liz Milliron, author of The Laurel Highland Mysteries

"A detective still reeling from the after-effects of capturing a serial killer finds himself on the trail of a new criminal, and only by uncovering a dark secret can he stop the murders. This is a fast-paced, terrific debut novel by Lynn-Steven Johanson. - Peter W.J. Hayes, author of the Detective Vic Lenoski series

"Rose's Thorn is fantastically woven with twists and turns that keep the reader guessing and on the edge of their seat...a riveting crime fiction that lures you in with a seemingly simple yet complex murder mystery and delivers an absorbing investigation for those that love police procedurals. I loved the plot, the characters (especially the strong female co-lead, Destiny), and the twists and turns. Author Lynn-Steven Johanson has written a thriller that anyone, teenage and up, could enjoy at any time. Just be sure to lock the door!" - Literary Titan

Winner of a 2021 Independent Press Award for Distinguished Favorite Mystery.
