Her only goal was to become an FBI Profiler. Born with an extremely high intelligence, coupled with an uncanny ability to "read" people, it was a perfect fit. Right from the beginning, fate pushed her professional life into links with her personal one. Her lawyer-financée was murdered, her first real assignment was a multiple family homicide and she, herself, was attacked and assaulted. None of these events deterred her from her chosen career, and when she and her partner were assigned a kidnapping turned murder in the frigid Montana landscape, she knew immediately this would become the case of a lifetime.
No story is complete without a little romance, and when her FBI agent partner begins to trust her professionally, a new relationship begins to develop between them.
The story leads the reader through her unusual childhood and preparation for what others might consider a look into the dark side of life chasing monsters. This is a "stay awake all night" reading. Prepare for an exciting journey.
