What the Dead Confess
The perfect murder is the one someone else already committed.
Plucked from the obscurity of the FBI's Intelligence unit, Maya Frost, 30, is given the chance at her dream job. Her analytical and profiling skills have caught the attention of the Behavioral Analysis Unit, and under a controversial new initiative, she’s paired with the legendary – and notoriously difficult – Agent Devon Lynch on a homicide case. It's the opportunity Maya has been chasing for years, and a chance to outrun the ghosts that have haunted her since childhood.
Their destination is the coastal town of Fernandina Beach, Florida, where a woman has been mutilated beyond recognition. But once Maya digs deeper into the case, she realizes that the murder echoes the crime of an infamous serial killer from decades ago.
As more bodies pile up, Maya’s theory is confirmed. They’re hunting a copycat obsessed with history’s most horrific monsters, and with each new murder, the killer takes these historical murders to the next level. When Maya finds herself in the killer’s crosshairs, what follows is cat-and-mouse game between a rookie profiler fighting to prove herself and a killer determined to make her his final masterpiece.
This unbelievably twisty FBI thriller will keep you glued to the pages late into the night. Fans of Freida McFadden, Melinda Leigh, and Kendra Elliot won’t be able to put it down.
