With a brutal, faceless killer walking freely on the streets of Freetown, everyone's instinct is to run and hide. Seventeen-year-old Cassidy Meyer's instincts however, immediately urge her to run toward the direction of danger in an attempt to unmask the killer's identity, thereby satisfying her life-long obsession for crime-solving. Her obsession with the case starts to create a wedge between her and her loved ones, and it starts to put everyone's life in danger. The only way to salvage her friendship and save everyone's life is to finish what she started; to find the killer before he can claim another life. #8 in Mystery/Thriller. (Highest ranking so far.)

A woman is found strangled in her own bed-killed with a man's necktie. No forced entry. No witnesses. One detail that doesn't belong. Detective Madison Knight knows the crime scene is staged. The house is spotless. Impersonal. But a single photograph on the nightstand tells her the murder was anything but random. The detail hits closer than it should-and Madison can't shake the feeling it's the key to everything. Then the killer strikes again. A second woman is found dead, strangled with the same brand of necktie. Madison realizes she's chasing a calculating serial killer-one who chooses his victims carefully and hides in the shadows. As the clues begin to connect, Madison uncovers a dark truth no one else sees. The murderer isn't finished-and if Madison is right, he's already choosing his next victim. Fast-paced, twisty, and addictive-perfect for fans of female-led crime thrillers and police procedurals. Book one in the international bestselling Detective Madison Knight series.
