Margot Phalen FBI

FBI Agent Margot Phalen refuses to think about serial killers until at least her second cup of coffee in the morning. Margot thought she'd escaped her past when she moved to a remote California ranch with her partner Wes and their motley crew of rescue animals. But when Wes is arrested for the brutal murder of a teenage girl, Margot's carefully constructed peaceful life shatters overnight. Forced to stay on the job in her new role interviewing imprisoned serial killers, Margot uncovers chilling connections between current cases and decades–old murders. And the longer she spends talking to the notorious "Sleeping Beauty Killer" Ricky DeGraff, the more she realizes he didn't work alone-and his accomplice is still out there. With Wes's future threatened by false accusations, Margot races against time to solve the Sleeping Beauty case-before the real killer has the chance to strike again, and so that she can get back to Wes and prove his innocence. But when her home comes under attack, she realizes she can't assume anything. However hard she tries to outrun it, the danger has followed her home. This pulse–pounding thriller is perfect for fans of Lisa Regan, A.J. Rivers and Kendra Elliott.

When seven skeletons are unearthed along the Appalachian Trail, FBI Special Agent Margot Phalen thinks she already knows who put them there. Margot knows how predators hunt. As the daughter of one of America's most notorious serial killers, she's turned her dark past into a weapon, becoming the Bureau's expert at getting inside the minds of monsters. Wyatt Holmes has been behind bars for a decade, convicted of hunting hikers like animals through the Tennessee wilderness. He claims wolves led him to his prey. Everyone thinks he's insane and surely responsible for the newly discovered skeletons-until the bodies start telling a different story. The burial patterns are wrong. The timeline doesn't fit. And as Margot ventures deeper into the wilderness where Holmes once stalked hikers, she discovers a horrifying truth: someone else is out there. This time, she isn't the only one hunting-in fact, she's become the target.
