First, Murder (An Alex Quinn Suspense Thriller—Book One‪)‬

Interpol agent Alex Quinn, 29, born to Italian-Turkish parents, is a multi-lingual genius. With an advanced degree in Criminal Psychology from a university in France and a PHD from a Germany university, Alex was recruited by Interpol at the age of 25—their youngest recruit—because of her encyclopedic knowledge of serial killers. But when a serial killer strikes in Venice, amidst the glittery costumes and sinister masks, Alex may, for the first time, find herself in over her head—and may just end up the target herself…
