About this audiobook

12 cold cases. 12 kidnapped women. One diabolical serial killer. In this riveting suspense thriller, a brilliant FBI agent faces a deadly challenge: decipher the mystery before each one is murdered.

FBI Special Agent Maya Gray, 39, has seen it all. She’s one of BAU’s rising stars and the go-to agent for hard-to-crack serial cases. When she receives a handwritten postcard promising to release 12 kidnapped women if she will solve 12 cold cases, she assumes it’s a hoax.

Until the note mentions that, among the captives, is her missing sister.

Maya, shaken, is forced to take it seriously. The cases she’s up against are some of the most difficult the FBI has ever seen. But the terms of his game are simple: If Maya solves a case, he will release one of the girls.

And if she fails, he will end a life.

Maya embarks with an urgency unlike any she’s ever felt. In a race against time, and with her sister’s life hanging in the balance, she must unravel the link between the 12 captives and end the killer’s dark game once and for all. Is this killer toying with her? Does he truly have her sister? Will he ever give her back?

Or will Maya end up sucked too deep into this killer’s twisted cat-and-mouse game to notice that she, herself, is the prey?

A complex psychological crime thriller full of twists and turns and packed with heart-pounding suspense, the MAYA GRAY mystery series will make you fall in love with a brilliant new female protagonist and keep you turning pages late into the night. It is a perfect addition for fans of Robert Dugoni, Rachel Caine, Melinda Leigh or Mary Burton.

Books #2 and #3 in the series—GIRL TWO: TAKEN and GIRL THREE: TRAPPED—are now also available.

Ratings and reviews

This has been one of my favourite books by Molly Black. Not only was the book captivating, the readers voice was as well. The reader had a strong, smooth voice and didnt try to use any crazy animations to demonstrate different characters or situations. My attention was held from start to finish.

I was lucky enough to have gotten a free audio book code for this book. I am volunteering to leave this review. Fantastic book plenty of twist and turns. I can't wait to to read more and see the outcome of the 12 bunnies.

Wow. Just wow! Molly Black is truly something special. There are a lot of great suspense writers at the moment - really gripping stories. But what sets Molly Black apart is that her writing is actually good. Not average and not okay. Good. That's unique in this genre at the moment.
