"A gruesome murder only a neuroscientist can solve..."

Fresh Fiction Review

Thriller Serial Killer

When a young girl is found dead in a cage, FBI neuroscientist Sayer Altair must take a break from her research into the brains of serial killers. This killer seems to be very sadistic, letting the young victim slowly starve to death, but strangely, had given the girl a puppy. The case is complicated further by the fact that the girl is the daughter of a senator. Sayer tries to figure out the killers motive, but the situation becomes dire when they realize another girl is locked up somewhere...

CAGED by Ellison Cooper is the first book in the very promising Agent Sayer Altair series. Sayer is a very closed person, still reeling from the shocking death of her fiancé, and spends most of her time studying serial killers. I quite liked getting to know Sayer and I found her research fascinating. The case is also interesting, especially when the motive comes to light. I also have to admit that I was a bit surprised by the last part of the book. Both the thrilling twist to the story, as well as the identity of the killer. I liked the fact that Ellison Cooper managed to surprise me.

CAGED is a great book to read if you like serial killer/FBI books. I will definitely read the next book in the series.

SUMMARY

FBI neuroscientist Sayer Altair hunts for evil in the deepest recesses of the human mind. Still reeling from the death of her fiancé, she wants nothing more than to focus on her research into the brains of serial killers. But when the Washington D.C. police stumble upon a gruesome murder scene involving a girl who was slowly starved to death while held captive in a cage, Sayer is called in to lead the investigation. When the victim is identified as the daughter of a high profile senator, Sayer is thrust into the spotlight.

As public pressure mounts, she discovers that another girl has been taken and is teetering on the brink of death. With evidence unraveling around her, Sayer races to save the second victim but soon realizes that they are hunting a killer with a dangerous obsession...a killer who is closer than she thought.
