The Strategist New FINALebook-2.jpg

A SECRETIVE WOMAN MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD.

A CRUSADING DETECTIVE IN SEARCH OF THE TRUTH.

A JADED FORMER FBI AGENT HELLBENT ON VENGEANCE.


Anxious for a fresh start in the place she once called home, former FBI agent Camille Grisham arrives from Washington D.C. in the predawn hours, completely unaware of the horrifying twist that her long-awaited second act is about to take. Her best friend has been murdered, and aside from a neighbor’s eyewitness account of a strange car in the area, there are no clues left behind to explain why she was targeted.


Grief-stricken and desperate for answers, Camille rushes to the scene, where she encounters Chloe Sullivan, the rookie homicide detective assigned to the case. For Chloe, the facts aren’t adding up. And her partner, a hard-nosed veteran with a murky past, is behaving in ways that make her question his true motives. 


When Camille receives evidence that differs dramatically from the official police narrative, she finds a lone supporter in Chloe. Despite the personal obstacles that each must face, they forge an alliance aimed at hunting down a killer. 


They know he is still out there. 


What they don’t know is that he is also hunting them. 


And he is more powerful and dangerous than either of them realizes.

“One of the best mysteries I’ve read in a long time, and I’ve read many.”
