Fans of mysteries, thrillers and suspense, you’ll want to check out these limited-time Kindle Countdown deals:
Creatures of Appetite (4.5/5 stars, 99 cents for the next two days only, then back to $3.99)
For fans of THOMAS HARRIS, DEAN KOONTZ and JAMES PATTERSON, a tale of snowbound terror and suspense:
They call it The Heartland Child Murders. Everyone else calls it a nightmare. Locked doors don’t stop him. He leaves no trace behind. He only takes little girls. His nickname… The Iceman.
A deranged serial killer roams wintry rural Nebraska with a demented purpose no one can fathom. Special Agent EMMA KANE, a former DC cop and damaged goods now with the FBI, is assigned to babysit burnt-out profiler JACOB THORNE, once the best in the business but now said to have lost his edge, as they both fly to Nebraska to catch this maniac.
Thorne is erratic, abrasive and unpredictably brilliant, but what he and Kane find in the heartland is much more than anyone bargained for, especially when the Iceman challenges them personally. The clock is ticking and a little girl’s life is on the line.
And maybe even more than that, once they find out what he’s really up to.
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
This book has frank and profane adult language within… this is often how many a law enforcement officer speaks, in my experience. Not all, but very many. The book also has violence, murder and adult situations, but the profanity has been an issue for a select few folks, for some odd reason, so I’m warning you now that it has profanity.
