Light of the World (Dave Robicheaux #20) by James Lee Burke

When Detective Dave Robicheaux's daughter, Alafair, declares her intention
to interview a convicted serial killer called Asa Surette in his Kansas prison
cell, Robicheaux does all he can to dissuade her. Dave has always encouraged
her ambitions as a writer, but as a father he doesn't want her to be exposed
to a man so nakedly evil. And his fears seem well founded when Alafair
is visibly shocked by the encounter.

Two years later, the horror Surette evoked is all but forgotten as Dave, his wife
Molly and Alafair are vacationing amidst the natural beauty of Montana. But
evil, it seems, has followed them into this wild paradise. Someone is stalking
Alafair, and Dave begins to suspect that it's Surette - even though he officially
died when the prison truck he was being transported in collided with an
oil tanker.

Is Alafair now the target of one of the most depraved serial killers
who ever lived, or has she unwittingly crossed paths with a murderous
psychopath closer to home? Dave enlists the help of his former Homicide
partner, Clete Purcel, to find out, and the pair soon find themselves
drawn into a web of evil and corruption that threatens to
engulf them once and for all.
