The heroine of my
Profiler series, Evelyn Baine, is kind of a badass.
Not in the walks-with-swagger, carries-a-big-gun and takes-no-prisoners kind of
way you might expect, but in a quiet, ultra-observant way. The FBI authorizes
her to carry a badge and a gun on her hip, but she rarely uses them. Most of the
time, itβs her intellect that has law enforcement officers across the country
asking for her help.
Sheβs a profiler for the Bureauβs elite Behavioral Analysis Unit, which means
that instead of leading an investigation and chasing suspects, she travels to a
much scarier place: into their minds. Itβs her job to figure out not just what
kind of person committed the crime sheβs been called to profile, but also how
police can find him and what heβll do next.
Throughout the course of my Profiler series, Evelynβs ability to predict the
next moves of serial killers, child abductors, terrorists and kidnappers has put
her into their paths. Along the way, Iβve gotten to show some of her physical
strength, too, but also how she outwits criminals into underestimating her.
Regardless of her tiny, 5β2β frame, sheβs still got FBI tactical training and
more than her fair share of determination!
And like many badass women, sheβs also snagged herself a pretty badass man. In
the first book of the series, Hostage Rescue Team agent Kyle βMacβ McKenzie is
just a colleague β albeit a persistent, flirtatious one. But by the latest book,
theyβre dating and itβs changed her workaholic perspective on life. When her
boss calls, interrupting a romantic dinner with a new case, Evelyn thinks:
Six months ago, sheβd been his go-to agent for urgent cases, because she
didnβt mind the late-night calls. Hell, she lived for the job.
But right now? With Kyle McKenzieβs deep blue eyes staring back at her?
βThis better be goodβ¦β
And as she discovers when she picks up that call from her boss in
STALKED, it
may be Evelynβs most challenging case yet: a teenage girl whoβs disappeared,
leaving behind a note foretelling her own death.
