Leap Year Killer

CONTINUATION OF THE BESTSELLER "CIPHER"

BESTSELLER WALL STREET JOURNAL

He is a master of creating illusions.

But death is always real for him…

Nina Guerrero is the one who managed to escape from the mysterious serial killer known as Cipher, and then eliminate him. Now she is part of the FBI profiling team.

…A mother, father, and newborn daughter – all are dead. The eight-day-old baby has been strangled, the man shot in the heart, and the woman lay in the bathtub and shot herself in the temple. It all looks like a double homicide and suicide. But it is not. This is the signature of a new serial killer. However, is it really new?

Nina Guerrero and her colleagues from the Behavioral Analysis Unit quickly find out that he has been hunting… for 28 years. He kills across the country, and each crime scene resembles the terrifying legend of La Llorona – the ghost of a weeping woman. The legend that terrified Nina in her childhood when she was a defenseless child. The staging is so good that no one has yet guessed to connect these cases. And the strangest part – the murders occur every leap year, on February 29…

The author graduated from the FBI Academy and dedicated 22 years of her life to capturing criminals, including serial killers. She knows well what she writes about, so her novel is essentially an insider story that has become popular worldwide.
