Magician Killer

At the tender age of nineteen, Special Agent Samantha Stevens was forced to endure the unspeakable. But that was ten years ago. Now, she lives an uncomplicated life in Washington, D.C., void of any personal ties as she pours over unsolved cases and clears them with unparalleled accuracy.

Seattle office Special Agent Nicholas McLeroy has discovered a disturbing trend: women are disappearing from the Alaskan territory without a trace. His four-legged partner, Officer Murphy, doesn't have the answers - so Nicholas requests the help of a profiler who his colleagues call a savant. But he's been warned that working with a genius is never easy...

Reluctant to face the past, but unwilling to reveal her traumatic secret to her boss, Sam finds herself on a case that hits too close to home. Her new partner, Special Agent McLeroy, is handsome, kind - and trustworthy. But even he can't save Sam from another encounter with the madman dubbed "The Magician Killer."
After all, she was the one that got away.

The Wishing Shelf gives this novel high praise, "A smartly plotted thriller with a strong female protagonist to root for."
