A dark FBI profiler thriller pitting a veteran behavioral analyst against a family-annihilating serial killer who seems to know her intimately. Psychological suspense where the hunt for a murderer becomes a fight for the hunter's own mind.
He Knows Her Cases. He Knows Her Weaknesses. He Knows Her.
FBI profiler Agent Meredeth Connelly has spent two decades hunting serial killers, and the.40 Caliber Killer is unlike any case she's worked. He targets whole families. He leaves evidence that reads like a private message. And with every crime scene, Meredeth's dread grows sharper: this murderer knows her intimately.
The case is taking a toll she can't report to the Bureau without risking her job. Fragmented dreams. Unsettling hallucinations. Headaches that flatten her for hours. The clues may be leading her toward the killer, or her exhausted mind may be inventing patterns where none exist.
Meredeth races to regain control of her own body and mind while the body count climbs. Stopping him means trusting the very memories she can no longer be sure are real.
Mercy Forsaken is the first Meredeth Connelly Mind Hunt thriller, for readers who love FBI profilers, serial killer investigations and heroines pushed to the edge of their own minds. Perfect for fans of Lisa Gardner, John Sandford and Tess Gerritsen.
