THE VIENNA CATACOMBS
A Reid Harper FBI Thriller, Book 4
She had never heard of him. She died because of him.
At four in the morning, a Swedish travel writer is found posed at the foot of Vienna's Plague Column, a number cut into her palm and a photograph of FBI profiler Reid Harper in her pocket.
Reid has never met her. He has never worked a case in Vienna. But in three weeks he is due to speak at a Europol forum in the city, and someone has made sure he can't stay away.
The Austrian police don't want him. Chief Inspector Theresa Gruber sees him as the reason a woman is dead. But the killer has left a trail only Reid can read: beeswax candles in a chamber of bones beneath St. Stephen's Cathedral, and cart tracks through the sewers.
Then a postcard arrives at his hotel. The next victim has already been chosen. She's somewhere in Vienna, alive, and Reid has until the forum to find her.
Beneath the city lie catacombs, drains, and river vaults that have kept their secrets for three hundred years. And behind the man doing the killing stands another. Polite. Patient. Seen by witnesses, never remembered. A man who knows exactly how Reid thinks, because he may once have taught him.
Every hour, the gap between victims shrinks. Every move Reid makes, someone is watching.
Beneath Europe's most beautiful city, the dead are waiting.
The Vienna Catacombs is a gripping, standalone FBI thriller for fans of Thomas Harris, Jeffery Deaver and Karin Slaughter. Perfect for readers who like their crime fiction dark, smart and set in Europe's most atmospheric cities.
