Lucy Kincaid is keeping busy as she anticipates the
realization of her next and biggest professional goal...
becoming an FBI agent. While waiting to enroll at the FBI
Academy she's working as an analyst for the FBI alongside
her training agent, Noah Armstrong. They are called in to
investigate the murder of D.C. lobbyist. Normally, homicides
are left to the Metro Police but this case is special. The
victim, Wendy James, is the former mistress of a sitting
congressman (their relationship was the center of a major
scandal) who was recently interviewed by the FBI for
possible influence peddling. The fact that Ms. James was
killed before she could give her second interview raises
some serious suspicions. A number of agents have an
interest in this case and aren't thrilled with Lucy's
involvement.
When Lucy and Noah are called to assist Metro PD with the
murder of a prostitute at a seedy hotel, Lucy's concern for
the victim causes her to overstep her role. Not
surprisingly, she finds herself off the James case and
assigned to support the local police. Lucy's investigation
will uncover a web of secrets, lies, and betrayal. It also
stirs the memories of her own rape and abduction. Boyfriend
Seth Rogan, the man who helps Lucy stay grounded and
remember to have fun, finds himself unexpectedly pulled
into the case by familiar forces.
SILENCED is an excellent addition to the Lucy Kincaid
series. Lucy and Seth continue to develop as complex,
imperfect characters with a passion for justice. Lucy's
mistakes as she attempts to balance the limitations of her
role as an analyst (and ultimately agent-in-training)
against her powerful empathy with the victims give her an
appealing depth and realism. The relationship between Lucy
and Seth is definitely secondary but given enough attention
to see how it continues to deepen and evolve. The suspense
was can't-put-it-down exciting.
It has been seven years since Lucy was attacked—and almost
killed—by an online predator. Today, she is well on her way
toward a new life.
While waiting to begin her training at the FBI Academy,
Lucy’s is tireless in her fight against cyber sex crime. Her
current mission: to find out who killed a high-priced call
girl linked to a powerful Congressman.
A Cold-Blooded Killer
A number of known prostitutes—with scores of high profile
clients—are turning up dead all over D.C. Is this the work
of a depraved killer? Or the result of an inside job? Lucy’s
investigation will take her into an underground network of
prostitutes, the chambers of the country’s most powerful
players, and her own dark past to confront an unknown enemy
who’s always one step ahead of her. With the help of her
P.I. boyfriend Sean Rogan, Lucy must find and protect the
only witness who can identify the killer and end the
conspiracy, but can the witness be trusted? Lucy will risk
everything to expose the truth and ensure justice is served,
even if that means putting herself in the line of fire …
