GENRE: Thriller

BLURB:
After a high-society call
girl is brutally murdered in her Georgetown
FBI Special Agent Allison
McNeil is asked by beleaguered FBI Director Clarence Mason to run an
off-the-record investigation of the murder because of the murder's similarity
to a case she worked a year earlier. Allison knows the most direct path to
apprehending the killer is to find the videos, but rumors that the victim's
client list may include some of Washington

EXCERPT:
“Alpha team in position,” said a voice through the small
speaker in her ear. She noticed Garret put a finger to the side of his head and
nod. He looked over at her.
“You better be right about this,” he whispered.
Allison shook her head. For all his brilliance—and, regardless
of how she felt personally about him, she recognized that he was
brilliant—Garret’s transparency could border on the inane. What he was really
saying was that if the lunatic Allison’s research had tracked to this location
wasn’t holed up in this backwoods cabin, if the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team had
been activated and deployed for no reason, then the blame would drop on her
like a bag of bricks. If Sam Kraw was in there, Allison knew it would be Garret
standing in front of the cameras taking credit for the HRT mission and the
capture of America’s most wanted fugitive.
She pushed the thought away. As long as they caught the
bastard and ended his multi-year killing spree in the Southeast, she didn’t
give a damn who got the credit.
Allison moved her binoculars. The tactical team was in place
around the cabin, peering through scopes with infrared capabilities. If there
was someone hiding in the shadows of a window or doorway, they wouldn’t be
hiding for long.
On some signal unseen by Allison, the men began a steady,
crouched advance to the building. She realized she was holding her breath so
she blew out her air slowly between pinched lips.
“Relax, McNeil,” Garret muttered. “You’re making me
nervous.”
