23 Girls [The Shear Killer | Book One]

Special Agent, Felixa Abel has been on the Shear Killing case for two years. The progress of the investigation is bleak, the connections are all there, but there are no leads on the cause. 11 homicides, 7 targets, and 5 survivors left in psychiatric rehabilitation-- 23 subjects in total, marked all in different ways by one careful, deranged serial killer. Each of those 23 have the same physical qualities that lead FBI investigators to predict the slayer’s next subject- female redheads, those killed harboring a newly-carved tattoo.The homicides themselves hold the same connections, but the fatality of each all seem different. The dead and surviving victims who have been physically assaulted bear the markings of their experience, including a fresh tattoo, but, worse than that, they show potential to become the next Shear Killer.

Sadie Grey was a young, bright hazel-eyed, red-haired girl of 19, fresh out of high school and weaseling her way into the big city of New York where a new studio office awaits her.
