Deadly Influence

FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE SUPER BESTSELLER "INSIDE THE KILLER".

THE FIRST NOVEL IN A NEW SERIES.

New York Police Lieutenant Abby Mullen is a psychological negotiator. In just a few seconds, she needs to find the right words to stop an armed killer from pulling the trigger. To do this, she must create his psychological profile with minimal information. Abby is like a profiler, only faster and cooler. She is ready for anything.

BUT NOT FOR THIS…

She received a call from Eden Fletcher. As girls, they lived in the same infamous cult — until that night when its leader Wilcox burned all the members of the community alive. Only three survived, including them. And now, many years later, Eden has found her childhood friend and is asking for help: someone has kidnapped her son and is demanding a ransom — a whopping 5 million dollars! In search of clues, Abby tries to understand:

WHY DID THE KIDNAPPER CHOOSE EDEN?

But Eden is clearly hiding something. For example, the possible motives of the criminal. And why there is a portrait of Wilcox in her house. Eden even conceals what happened to her after that tragic fiery massacre. Gradually, Abby realizes: the horrific past that she tried so hard to forget is cleverly coming back to her.

OR RATHER, IS COMING BACK FOR HER…
