    A bundle of books #1 (GIRL ONE: MURDER) and #2 (GIRL TWO: TAKEN) in Molly Black’s Maya Gray FBI Suspense Thriller series! This bundle offers books one and two in one convenient file, with over 100,000 words of reading.
    
    12 cold cases. 12 kidnapped women. One diabolical serial killer. In this bestselling suspense thriller, a brilliant FBI agent faces a deadly challenge: decipher the mystery before each one is murdered.
    
    FBI Special Agent Maya Gray, 39, has seen it all. She’s one of BAU’s rising stars and the go-to agent for hard-to-crack serial cases. When she receives a handwritten postcard promising to release 12 kidnapped women if she will solve 12 cold cases, she assumes it’s a hoax.
    
    Until the note mentions that, among the captives, is her missing sister.
    
    Maya, shaken, is forced to take it seriously. The cases she’s up against are some of the most difficult the FBI has ever seen. But the terms of his game are simple: If Maya solves a case, he will release one of the girls. 
    
    And if she fails, he will end a life.
    
    In GIRL ONE: MURDER (Book #1), Maya embarks with an urgency unlike any she’s ever felt.  In a race against time, and with her sister’s life hanging in the balance, she must unravel the link between the 12 captives and end the killer’s dark game once and for all. Is this killer toying with her? Does he truly have her sister? Will he ever give her back? Or will Maya end up sucked too deep into this killer’s twisted cat-and-mouse game to notice that she, herself, is the prey?
    
    In GIRL TWO: TAKEN (Book #2), Maya must solve the murder of a female corrections officer. A seemingly black-and-white case, closed years ago, the local police refuse to take it up again. But as Maya delves into the world of prisons, correction officers and ex-cons, she quickly sees there is more there than meets the eye. She, it turns out, was not the only officer murdered. It was a serial. And this killer is more complex—and unpredictable—than anyone can imagine. And if Maya doesn’t solve this case soon, her own sister’s life may be on the line. Meanwhile, the first released “bunny” has given the FBI a promising lead on the killer’s whereabouts—but are they walking into a trap? 
    
    A complex psychological crime thriller full of twists and turns and packed with heart-pounding suspense, the MAYA GRAY mystery series will make you fall in love with a brilliant new female protagonist and keep you turning pages late into the night. It is a perfect addition for fans of Robert Dugoni, Rachel Caine, Melinda Leigh or Mary Burton.
    
    Books #3-#6 in the series—GIRL THREE: TRAPPED, GIRL FOUR: LURED, GIRL FIVE: BOUND, and GIRL SIX: FORSAKEN—are now also available.

    This book is the autobiography of the author. It began, however, as a biography of the author’s mother, which allowed Vicky to write about American society in the mid-to-late twentieth century; experiences of Slavic, French, and East Indian immigrants at the United States around the turn of the twentieth century; child and spouse abuse perpetrated by women as well as men and the effects of intergenerational abuse; and murder and suicide. 
    The author hopes to educate people about the American poor in the twentieth century and to broaden people’s perspective on American life. Not all Americans had the benefits of understanding mainstream American culture and society as well as knowing the language of the nation and having a supportive family. Perhaps this book could help us all understand present-day immigrants as well. 
    Vicky Bedi is a talented musician who has been a church organist for most of her life. She is also a talented artist and designs many of her own clothes. Aside from her childhood Vicky has been influenced throughout her life by spirituality, friends, and pets. Whisper of Hope, Cry of Despair is her first book.
