The Shepherd's Flock
(2027)(The sixth book in the Briar Calloway FBI Mystery series)
A novel by Georgia Wagner
The kidnapped nine-year-old walked into the FBI office carrying a bloody knife—and a message for Briar Calloway from the man who had just killed her abductor.
Within days, more missing children are returned alive while the men accused of taking them turn up dead, transforming a ruthless killer into a folk hero the public calls the Shepherd.
But Briar sees something everyone else wants to ignore: the rescues are too perfect, the victims too carefully chosen, and Adrian seems to know far more about the killer than he admits.
Then the Shepherd saves a child connected to Briar’s own family and sends another warning: YOUR HOUSE HAS A MONSTER TOO. As Briar races to uncover who the Shepherd really is, she discovers a secret buried twenty years ago—and evidence that one of the men celebrated as a monster may have died innocent.
Someone isn’t just rescuing children.
Someone is using them to settle an old score.
Genre: Mystery
