Taylor Jackson #2 / 9
by J.T. Ellison
14 (Taylor Jackson #2) by J.T. Ellison
Unrated

In this gritty Taylor Jackson novel from New York Times bestselling author J.T. Ellison, a homicide detective falls into a darker fairy tale when an infamous storybook killer seems to return.

Lieutenant Taylor Jackson is no stranger to brutality, but her latest case shakes her to the core. The victims—with their pale skin, black hair, and ruby-red lips—recall a nightmare Nashville suffered decades ago. The Snow White Killer slaughtered ten princess look-alikes and was never caught.

A copycat is methodically recreating the Snow White murders, studying the original crimes and perfecting the craft. As Taylor fights to identify him before he completes his twisted homage, the investigation pulls her into a conspiracy that hits closer to home than she ever imagined.

Even with her own father missing and her wedding just days away, Taylor won’t stop until she has taken down this chilling protégé. But her pursuit of justice may destroy her own fairy-tale ending.

Revised edition: The edition of 14 contains editorial revisions.

J.T. Ellison

J.T. Ellison

J.T. Ellison has built her career on uncovering the secrets people hope will never surface. Her novels, spanning psychological thrillers, domestic noir, and crime fiction, thrive on the tension between what is said and what is hidden. With more than thirty books translated into over a dozen languages and millions of copies in print, she has become a familiar name to readers who crave stories where danger lurks in both dark alleys and well-lit kitchens.

Ellison’s path to writing was far from conventional. She studied politics and creative writing before earning a master’s degree in political management, then spent years working in government and the private sector, including a White House appointment and defense contracting. That background sharpened her sense of power, secrecy, and consequence, all of which seep into her fiction. Whether she is writing about a Nashville homicide detective in the Taylor Jackson series, a forensic pathologist chasing truth in Dr. Samantha Owens, or globe-spanning intrigue in A Brit in the FBI (co-written with Catherine Coulter), her stories pulse with authenticity grounded in meticulous research.

Her standalone thrillers push even further into psychological territory. Books like Lie to Me, Good Girls Lie, Her Dark Lies, and It’s One of Us explore the fractures within marriages, families, and communities, reminding readers that sometimes the most terrifying villains are the people we know best. Awards and accolades followed, including the ITW Thriller Award for Best Paperback Original for The Cold Room and several RITA® finalist nods. What matters most, though, is how deeply her characters resonate with readers who recognize their own fears in the pages.

Beyond the novels, Ellison is the co-host of Nashville’s Emmy-winning literary television show A Word on Words and the founder of Two Tales Press, where she publishes short fiction and experiments with new ideas. She also writes fantasy thrillers under the pen name Joss Walker, proving that her storytelling instincts cross genres as easily as her characters cross moral lines.

At the heart of all her work lies the same question: what happens when the masks come off? It is that relentless curiosity about identity, betrayal, and the choices people make under pressure that keeps readers gripped until the final page.
