Madison Knight Synopsis: Ties That Bind by Carolyn Arnold is the first Madison Knight novel. Detective Madison Knight concluded that the case of a strangled woman was an isolated incident. But when another woman’s body is found in a park killed with the same brand of neckties, she realizes they’re dealing with a potential repeat offender. Despite mounting pressure from the sergeant and the chief to close the case regardless if an innocent man is thrown behind bars, and a partner who is more interested in saving his marriage than stopping a potential serial killer, Madison may have to fly solo if the murderer is going to be stopped.
