New York Times bestselling author Laura Griffin
“delivers the goods” (Publishers Weekly) again with
this gripping, “spellbinding” (Fresh Fiction)
thriller full of twists and turns—the twelfth in her
bestselling Tracers series.
When crime scene investigator Brooke Porter arrives at the
home of a murdered woman, the only thing more shocking than
the carnage is the evidence that someone escaped the scene.
But where is this witness now? A thorough search of the area
yields more questions than answers, and before Brooke even
packs up her evidence kit, she’s made it her goal to find
the witness and get them out of harm’s way.
Homicide detective Sean Byrne has seen his share of bloody
crime scenes, but this one is particularly disturbing,
especially because Brooke Porter is smack in the middle of
it. Sean has had his eye on the sexy CSI for months, and
he’s determined to help her with her current case—even if it
means putting his attraction on hold so he and Brooke can
track down a murderer. But as the investigation—and their
relationship—heats up, Sean realizes that keeping his work
and his personal life separate is more complicated than he
ever imagined; especially when the killer sets his sights on
Brooke.
With Griffin’s signature “fully fleshed characters, dry
humor, and tight plotting” (Publishers Weekly),
Touch of Red demonstrates why she is one of the most
acclaimed and popular authors of sexy thrillers today.
