When a homeless man is found tortured and murdered in a
Sacramento alley, FBI special agent Megan Elliot has little
to go on but a set of military tags. Then when another
retired soldier is ambushed, tortured and murdered like the
first, Megan realizes she's dealing with a serial killer,
possibly a pair of killers. She and her boss, Hans Vigo,
head to a small Texas town to follow up on the latest
killing, and it's there she runs into Jack Kincaid, an ex-
military man.
Soldier-for-hire Jack Kincaid heads to California to visit
his family. While he's gone, his friend is murdered, and by
the time he gets back to Texas, the FBI have arrived and
the local police are not co-operating. Frustrated and
angry, Jack insists on shadowing the FBI agents and uses
his contacts to push the investigation into high gear.
The killers each have their own agenda, their own primary
target. As one sinks into a dark abyss, the other becomes
more manipulative, cold and deadly. Time is running out and
mistakes are being made. They know the FBI is only a few
steps behind, know that all the little clues left behind at
each murder are leading Megan to the truth.
SUDDEN DEATH is the first of a new FBI trilogy from Ms.
Brennan. It's a first-rate book, superbly plotted and
executed, with exceptional characters. A real page-turner
with twists and turns all the way to the end. I could not
put this book down. Highly recommended.
When a homeless veteran is found dead
in a squalid Sacramento alley, FBI special agent Megan
Elliott vows to find the murdered hero’s killer. Her
investigation gets complicated fast, for the victim, a
former Delta Force soldier, is just one link in a
nationwide spree of torture and murder.
Straight off
a job rescuing medical missionaries, soldier-for-hire Jack
Kincaid returns to his home base in the Texas border town
of Hidalgo only to receive the news that one of his closest
colleagues–also ex-military–has been brutally murdered.
Faced with an inept local police force, Jack takes matters
into his own hands.
Now, as part of a national task
force to stop the sadistic killings, by-the-book Megan and
burn-the-book Jack form a tense alliance, sparked with
conflict and temptation. But they struggle against more
than passion, for a vicious pair of killers has only just
begun a rampage of evil . . . and the primary target is
much closer than Megan suspects.
