Beschreibung

The story revolves around the hunt for Paul Leonard, the man responsible for the death of Stanley Colton’s mother and father, Jack and Samantha Colton and his younger sister, Ashley. Jack was a detective as well as a hitman of an underground elite to stabilize the prison, as well as the country’s population by eliminating murderers and rapists. This elite was started by high court judge, Judge Roberts. Jack and the rest of the family are murdered by Paul Leonard. Paul Leonard was a cop also set up as a hitman by Judge Roberts, who took advantage of this elite, creating a mob army to racketeer and make money off of weapons and drug smuggling. Jack Colton was the last to try and eliminate Paul as he had already killed all the families in association with the elite. Roberts gave Paul the idea of who the families were that tried to eliminate them. Although this is not shown, it’s stated when Stanley meets up with Roberts. Stanley witnessed the death of his family by hiding underneath a table, not being noticed. 13 years later detective Frank Colton and Officer Michael Sharp investigate files of previous convicts and one young hitman, never to be caught or ever convicted, to help them on their mission to capture and kill Paul Leonard with the help of Judge Roberts. Frank realizes that Stanley is the one who’s never been caught and tries to trace him up. With the significant help Officer Michael Sharp, Frank Colton finds out about Stanley Colton’s whereabouts. The two other convicts are already found and they await Stan’s approval. Detective Colton approaches Stan without telling him that they are family. Stanley’s attitude and heavy metal appearance shows that he has another life going. He continually disapproves stating “there were some things in life I chose to put behind me.” Tracey, Stanley’s on and off girlfriend, who’s aware of his hitman and tough skills, encourages him to participate as she tells him that there’s nothing wrong in receiving a little help.

    Justice doesn't have an expiration date. 
    Statistics say half of all killers get away. They blend into the suburbs, they grow old, and they forget. But the families of the victims never do. 
      
    When Detective Luca receives a cryptic call about a 25-year-old murder, he is pulled into the darkest corner of the city's history: the brutal, unsolved murder of a teenage girl. For two decades, a devastated mother has waited for answers, and a younger brother has lived with the ghosts of that night. 
      
    Now, as Luca prepares for the challenges of fatherhood himself, the case becomes deeply personal. He isn't just hunting a shadow; he's fighting to give a shattered family the peace they've been denied for a generation. 
      
    But the trail is a minefield. Between a botched original investigation and a carousel of tight-lipped suspects, someone wants the past to stay buried. And they are willing to kill again to make sure Luca doesn't dig too deep. 
      
    Can Luca solve the crime that defined a family's nightmare, or will he become the next victim of a secret twenty-five years in the making?

    “This is an excellent book… When you start reading, be sure you don’t have to wake up early!”
    —Reader review for The Killing Game
    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    
    When a French diplomat's murder mirrors the work of an elusive European serial killer, US Marshal Alexa Chase must navigate a precarious alliance with a French inspector and outwit a vigilante in a high-stakes race to stop an international predator.
    
    THE KILLING VOICE (An Alexa Chase Suspense Thriller—Book 10) is the tenth in a new series by mystery and suspense author Kate Bold, which begins with THE KILLING GAME (Book #1).
    
    Alexa Chase, 34, a brilliant profiler in the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, was too good at her job. Haunted by all the serial killers she caught, she left a stunning career behind to join the U.S. Marshals. As a Deputy Marshal, Alexa—fit, and as tough as she is brilliant—could immerse herself in a simple career of hunting down fugitives and bringing them to justice.
    
    But with her recent work a big success, the FBI and the Marshals have decided to make their joint-task force permanent. Alexa, reeling from her own traumatic past and her PTSD of hunting serial killers, has no choice: she will now have to work with an FBI partner she dislikes and hunt down serial killers whose jurisdiction intertwines with that of the U.S. Marshals. Alexa finds herself forced to confront the thing she dreads the most—entering a killer’s mind. 
     
    As Alexa dives deeper into the investigation, she realizes suspects are everywhere—and the clock is ticking. But who can really be trusted? 
    
    All Alexa can do is rely on her brilliant skills to enter the killer’s twisted mind before he strikes again.
    
    A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured Deputy Marshal, the ALEXA CHASE series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.
    
    Future books in the series are also available!
