About this eBook

Murder happens in Houston, but when the most recent murders take on disturbing similarities, local law enforcement officers fear a serial killer is roaming their streets.

Former sheriff’s department sergeant Jade Monroe has just graduated from the FBI’s serial crimes unit in homicide and is called to Houston with her partner, J.T. Harper, to take on her first assignment—apprehending the person responsible for these gruesome crimes.

With victims piling up and the clock ticking, Jade and J.T. need to intensify their search because there’s no sign the killer is slowing down.

After a late-night epiphany while she’s alone, Jade suddenly comes face to face with the killer, and now Jade is missing. The clock continues to tick—but this time it’s for her.

Editorial Review

"In this first installment of Sutter’s new series, heroine Jade Monroe has just completed FBI training and is assigned to help track down a serial killer in the Houston area. As bodies accumulate, the agents learn that each victim’s death involved a concrete block, and their job is to figure out why. The smart, risk-taking heroine that readers came to admire in Sutter’s previous Jade Monroe novels is back and in rare form, and the stakes have never been higher, especially when Jade makes a rash decision that threatens to end her FBI career when it’s barely begun. The action never slows down in this book, a wild romp of a thriller that Sutter fans will find deeply satisfying.” Angela M., Editor, Red Adept Editing

Ratings and reviews

Great read, believable characters, I love that the main character wasn't defined by her tragic past. No romance, I am thrilled about that! Too often the co-ed partners in other series become romantically intertwined and it takes away from the story. Kudos to the author for not falling into that trap! The only complaint I had was that the author stated twice that the 'attic and basement' needed to be searched. Houston is at sea level and as such, the homes can't have basements.

Like so many psychological and crime novels I've read lately, the story is OK and even exciting at times but the heroine does stupid things to repeatedly put herself in danger. Once the story was laid out, it was predictable. By 75% of the novel the entire story was obvious. Just wondered what the final body count would be. I'll probably read other Jade Monroe novels.

I give 3 stars because I was really angry that Jade, a good FBI agent can be so stupid as to act without following rules and got caught. I feel she should be dead as the deranged killer was so angry with her but because she's the heroine, her character didn't die but instead the killer went to all the trouble to take her from one location to another! Also, she could have saved the 2 lives at the end but she chose to shoot the cinder instead? And its her weapon that was used too! Unforgivable!!!
