Story
Maggie's latest case is an unidentified female in her early teens, discovered in a local cemetery. More shocking than the girl's injuries - for Maggie at least - is the fact that no one has reported her missing. She and the detectives assigned to the case (including her cop ex-husband) are determined to follow every lead, run down every scrap of evidence. But the monster they seek is watching every move, closer to them than they could possibly imagine.

His classification: Level 26.

Tim Hess is a semiretired veteran cop staring at a death sentence - his own. Detective Merci Rayborn, young enough to be his daughter, is brash, impatient, and not someone from whom Hess wants to be taking orders. He certainly isn't planning on falling in love with her. Together, they must track down a psychopathic killer who's been abducting beautiful young women from the malls of Orange County.

Excellent action-packed thriller.
Brian Shea’s latest in the Boston Crime Thriller series will keep you wrapped up in the action as Mike Kelly attempts to solve a murder that hits close to home for the Boston PD. If you are a fan of Brian’s work, you owe it to yourself to grab a copy of this book and settle in for some quality tie with Mike Kelly and the BPD. Having previously read the four previous books in the series I was excited to read this episode, and when the publisher offered me a review copy of the audiobook, I had to accept. Listening to Corey Snow’s narration of this story really made it come alive with all the accents and various vocalizations.
