Publisher Description
From #1 bestselling author Blake Pierce comes a heart-pounding new mystery series.
In the cornfields of Nebraska a woman is found murdered, strung up on a pole, the victim of a deranged killer. It doesn’t take long for the police to realize a serial killer is on the loose—and that his spree has just begun.
Detective Mackenzie White, young, tough, smarter than the aging, chauvinistic men on her local force, finds herself called in grudgingly to help solve it. As much as the other officers hate to admit it, they need her young, brilliant mind, which has already helped crack cold cases that had left them stumped. Yet even for Mackenzie this new case proves an impossible riddle, something the likes of which she—and the local force—have ever seen.
With the FBI called in, together, an intense manhunt ensues. Mackenzie, reeling from her own dark past, her failed relationships, and her undeniable attraction to the new FBI agent, finds herself battling her own demons as her hunt for the killer takes her to the darkest places of her mind. As she delves into the killer’s mind, obsessing over his twisted psychology, she finds that evil truly does exist. She only hopes it will not be too late to extricate herself from it, as her entire life collapses around her.
As more bodies turn up dead and a frantic race against time ensues, there is no way out but to find him before he kills again.
A dark psychological thriller with heart-pounding suspense, Before He Kills marks the debut of a riveting series—and a beloved new character—that will leave you listening late into the night.
Customer Reviews
No no no
A U.S. novel being read by a Brit… nope. Than the contents… yes I understand mysogeny at the police, been there myself, but her filling in the gaps of what people are thinking, no! Just have them say it and let your audience draw conclusions. Another thing I hate is the facts trying to fit the narrative, instead of the other way around. You can see this person didn’t built their narrative around the facts. Lastly… when a person digs up a 100 percent identical case, despite it being 30 years ago… not one cop will go this is a strenuous lead… the second the serial killer got their say , I closed down… I am so done with writers trying to crawl into the head of both serial killer and police officer. I realize they always are, I just don’t want to know about it. That is the mystery people. The trying to find out who done it! Stop ruining that!
