Description
From #1 bestselling mystery and suspense author Blake Pierce comes a gripping new series: when a serial killer escapes from a mental hospital, the FBI creates an elite unit to target criminally-insane killers. FBI Special Agent Valerie Law, a rising star, is the perfect candidate—but for Valerie, this case may just hit too close to home.
“A masterpiece of thriller and mystery.”
—Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Once Gone)
With an insane killer on a spree, the clock is ticking for Valerie and her partner—and the brilliant psychiatrist on their team—to enter his mind and stop him before he strikes again. The twisted pathway to his psyche takes them down the dark road of the killer’s past, into orphanages, alienated family members, and shattered survivors.
It is a road that may be too dark for even Valerie—one of the best BAU agents—to head down. She has tried too hard to escape her own past to withstand much more on her psyche.
And when the killer sets his sights on her, it may just be her final undoing.
Is Valerie one step ahead of this killer?
Or has she walked right into a trap?
A page-turning crime thriller featuring a brilliant and haunted new female protagonist, the VALERIE LAW mystery series is packed with suspense and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you turning pages late into the night.

5By Grandma Fox 85A great book that I read changed my type of books which I now read from crime stories to slightly more with a little more of romance. Ole grandmaNo Mercy
4By Ms. English TeacherGood plot, good pace throughout. Plenty of suspense. Plenty of typos, misspellings & omitted words. Also pistol is the universal term. Pistols can be revolvers or semi-automatic. The Terms are not all interchangeable. Also the cartridges (bullets) are held in a magazine in a semi-auto pistol, (NOT a clip).So many mistakes
2By CLSx2The main characters name changes throughout the book. Grammar is off, spelling errors, and the dialogue is sophomoric. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is the storyline was interesting.Perfect
5By geraldineyGreat page turner
