Thriller Serial Killer
In Shadow Man, Cody McFadyen took the suspense
thriller where other writers have feared to tread. He
introduced readers to a heroine every bit as dark and edgy
as the serial killers she hunts: Special Agent Smoky
Barrett. Now, in his latest novel, McFadyen brings Agent
Barrett back to track down a killer who breaks all the
rules. Get ready for a shattering confrontation with the
very essence of human evil.
“I want to talk to
Smoky Barrett or I’ll kill myself.”
The girl is
sixteen, at the scene of a grisly triple homicide, and has
a gun to her head. She claims “The Stranger” killed her
adoptive family, that he’s been following her all her
life, killing everyone she ever loved, and that no one
believes her.
No one has. Until now.
Special
Agent Smoky Barrett is head of the violent crimes unit in
Los Angeles, the part of the FBI reserved for tracking
down the worst of the worst. Her team has been handpicked
from among the nation’s elite law enforcement specialists
and they are as obsessed and relentless as the psychos
they hunt; they’ll have to be to deal with this
case.
For another vicious double homicide reveals a
killer embarked on a dark crusade of trauma and death:
an “artist” who’s molding sixteen-year-old Sarah into the
perfect victim—and the ultimate weapon. But Smoky Barrett
has another, more personal reason for catching The
Stranger—an adopted daughter and a new life that are worth
protecting at any cost.
This time Smoky is going to
have to put it all on the line. Because The Stranger is
all too real, all too close, and all too relentless. And
when he finally shows his face, if she’s not ready to
confront her worst fear, Smoky won’t have time to do
anything but die.
