BOOK ONE IN A PULSE-POUNDING NEW THRILLER SERIES

Lauren Pauling doesn't just hunt killers. She hunts the ones no one else can find.

First introduced in Lee Child's bestselling Jack Reacher novel THE HARD WAY, FBI Special Agent Lauren Pauling has built her career on cases others have given up on. Now she's facing her most dangerous adversary yet: a serial killer whose methods defy explanation and whose victims share a secret connection that someone will do anything to keep buried.

Teamed with Wallace Mack, a brilliant FBI profiler with an uncanny ability to see inside the darkest criminal minds, Pauling must race against time as the body count rises and the trail leads somewhere she never expected.

But the closer they get to the truth, the more they realize they're not just chasing a killer.

They're being led.

Fast-paced, relentlessly suspenseful, and packed with the kind of twists that will keep you turning pages late into the night, this is the first installment in an electrifying new series fans of Jack Reacher won't want to miss.

Perfect for fans of Lee Child, David Baldacci, Karin Slaughter, and Jeffery Deaver.
