Journey's Prey
Dive in. The water’s great…for murder.
FBI Agent Journey Russo excels at keeping the shadows of her traumatic past at bay. So when she’s called to investigate a murder on a Sunday morning, she views it as a welcome distraction.
Until she arrives at the horrific crime scene.
The teenager wasn’t just murdered—she was nightmarishly mutilated, and her body discarded on the edge of the Allegheny National Forest. The same forest where Journey recently learned the leader of the cult from her childhood may own a cabin, and where her previous case led her on a wild chase for a hunter who favors a hunting bow as a weapon.
As Journey investigates the young woman’s death, she uncovers a different kind of predator. The smarmy head lifeguard at the local pool the victim frequented clearly preys on young teenage girls. But is he capable of murder?
Then the body of another young woman is discovered. With both murders eerily similar to another unsolved murder the previous summer, it seems a serial killer is on the loose. And he’s going off the deep end.
