FBI BAU special agent Harley Cole, as brilliant as she is at hunting serial killers, has bent the rules one too many times and, put on leave, decides to return to her small-town Southwestern roots and visit her dying father. But when a new killer strikes nearby, leaving a trail of women in abandoned desert mines, it hits close to home for Harley, eerily reminiscent of her sister's unsolved case-and forces her to consider the local FBI field office's desperate plea for help.
Harley, reeling from her being put on leave, from her long-term relationship falling apart, and from her father's dying, is hardly ready to return to her hometown, to its long-buried secrets, and her tortured past. She spent her life escaping this small town-but, as she settles back in, she wonders: might she have been wrong all this time?
Yet as more bodies surface and as every clue leads to a dead end, Harley, clashing with her new partner, realizes she's in a race against time.
Will she save the next victim in time? Or will the endless desert, and her dark past, swallow her for good?
Nowhere Safe (A Harley Cole FBI Suspense Thriller-Book 1) is the debut novel in a new series by #1 bestselling mystery and suspense author Kate Bold.

Book 2: The Silent Game
In the aftermath of a chilling execution, secrets that were buried for years are beginning to surface, threatening to unravel everything. Ava Sinclair, once a skilled psychiatrist who navigated the minds of the most dangerous criminals, is now haunted by a past she can no longer ignore. The man she thought she had forgotten-Marcus Ravel-was executed for his gruesome crimes, but his shadow still looms over her. As Ava tries to reclaim her life, fragmented memories begin to resurface. Memories of her involvement with Marcus, of a dangerous game that blurred the lines between the professional and personal, between sanity and madness. The past she thought was locked away is now spilling into the present, unraveling her sense of self. With the arrival of a cryptic message and a series of unsettling events, Ava is forced to confront the truth she's been running from. As she digs deeper into Marcus's dark world, she realizes that the game is far from over, and she's still playing it-unwittingly-and at a much higher stake. But she's not alone. Eric Grant, the detective who once guided her through the dark maze of Marcus's mind, now holds secrets of his own. The truth about his involvement with Marcus is more dangerous than Ava could have ever imagined, and his loyalties are being questioned as the line between friend and foe becomes increasingly blurred. In this twisted, psychological thriller, Ava must face the truth about her own darkness, and what it means to be caught in a game where silence is as deadly as the truth. *The Silent Game* is the second book in a gripping new series that will leave readers questioning their own perceptions of right and wrong, and just how far they would go to survive the ultimate game of secrets.Complete
