LOOK BEHIND YOU is an incredible novel that involves one of society's fears when it comes to unsolved serial murders, but you have to read it for yourself to see what I mean. In this fictional novel, LOOK BEHIND YOU, written by Iris Johansen you are left with goosebumps until the end. The book is part of the Kendra Michaels series and is the first that I have read. It can definitely be read alone as you will find that you will have trouble putting it down. Johansen gives us interesting characters with a believable storyline that not all authors have a talent for. The CIA and FBI hire Kendra Michaels to use her incredible senses to help them solve crimes and this case is no different. Blind for her first 20 years, after a surgery, she can now see and use her gifts to see what others will miss. In San Diego, there is a serial killer on the loose. This one is strange because he leaves objects behind that have investigators clueless to whom and why? With Kendra's help, they realize these objects belong to victims of other unsolved murders from the past from all over the nation. All these investigators from all these crimes come together to form the "dream team" and put their skills together to solve these murders. But can they do it before the killer taunts Kendra more than it has? LOOK BEHIND YOU by Iris Johansen is a well-developed story that I found to be so intriguing and I would think this would be every investigator's nightmare. This may be my first of Johansen's novels but it will not be my last!

SUMMARY

#1 New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen and Edgar Award-winning author Roy Johansen are back with Look Behind You, a novel featuring Kendra Michaels—hired gun for both the CIA and FBI. A serial killer is on the loose in San Diego with a most unusual M.O. With each kill, the perpetrator leaves behind mystifying random objects. In this confusing array of unrelated evidence, the one thing that is clear is that the murders all have one characteristic in common: they all require the specific skills of Kendra Michaels, hired gun for both the CIA and FBI. Kendra, who was blind for the first twenty years of her life, gained her sight through a revolutionary surgical procedure and now uses her acute powers of observation to assist in cases all over the United States. FBI investigators soon make a startling discovery: the left-behind objects are actually souvenirs of other unsolved serial murder cases from around the country. And the new crimes feature “holdback” characteristics never disclosed to the general public—meaning that one single killer was behind the nation’s most notorious serial murder cases and has now come to challenge and taunt Kendra. The investigators—a “dream team” of profilers—join Kendra in the pursuit, but as the body count rises and the detectives themselves become the newest targets, Kendra must risk everything to defeat a psychopath whose terrifying plan is years in the making…
