Perfect for you if...

  • You love psychological thrillers with protagonists who are just as damaged as the criminals they're chasing.
  • You want a taut, page-turning investigation that doesn't waste time on filler.
  • You're drawn to strong female leads who operate by their own rules rather than playing by the book.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer slow-burn character studies over plot-driven narratives.
  • You need heavy worldbuilding or lush prose; this is lean and relentless.
  • You're uncomfortable with morally grey protagonists or stories that dig into trauma.

About this book

A young woman is found dead on a deserted beach at dawn. FBI Special Agent Tess Winnett investigates the baffling crime, searching for the victim's identity and the circumstances of her death. As she uncovers new clues, Tess discovers unsettling facts that point to a troubling conclusion: this is not the killer's first victim. Tess carries her own hidden burden as she races to catch a serial killer preparing to strike again. She must confront her deepest fears while working to prevent another murder. The investigation forces her to question what she thought she knew about serial killers and the rules of the game. Tess is portrayed as a bold, direct, and intelligent FBI agent who pursues the truth relentlessly, putting her life on the line. Her search for the killer becomes a psychological thriller that explores both the hunt for a dangerous criminal and Tess's personal struggle with her own demons.
