Summary

Caught in a pursuit that will change his life forever. Or end it.

Step into the world of Chief Randall Steadman, a masterful interrogator with the uncanny ability to read people's thoughts and motives. But when his skills fail him at the poker table, Steadman spirals into a series of unexpected events that will challenge everything he knows.

Watching his poker stake evaporate, Steadman hits rock bottom – until fate deals him a more devastating blow, sowing disaster and leaving an innocent girl in danger with a ruthless killer on the loose.

Determined to make things right, Steadman embarks on a perilous journey with his untested partner, Detective Cory Frost. Their quest for justice takes them down a treacherous path to the scene of a shocking triple homicide and pits them against a menacing volcano and a brutal crime ring.

Brimming with suspense, Steadman’s Blind will send you to the edge of your seat. Gripping and fast-paced, this explosive tale explores the limits of trust, the price of redemption, and the lengths one will go to protect the innocent.

This bundle offers books one, two, and three in one convenient file, with over 100,000 words of reading.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.“This is an excellent book… When you start reading, be sure you don’t have to wake up early!”—Reader review for The Killing GameIn THE KILLING GAME (Book #1), when a notorious serial killer escapes from a prison transport, it crosses the jurisdictions of the U.S. Marshals and the FBI’s BAU. The two departments are forced to come together on a new joint task force to hunt down the fugitive serial killer and bring him to justice. Alexa and her new partner, each territorial, don’t take well to each other. Between their tension and all the clues leading to dead ends and the bodies piling up on the killer’s spree, Alexa knows that she, up against a ticking clock, can’t afford to get this wrong. Especially when she realizes that she herself may be the next target. In THE KILLING TIDE (Book #2), with Alexa’s last case 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. Two federal judges are murdered, and startling evidence points to the work of a serial killer with a vendetta. But the judges have tried and convicted hundreds of people over their long careers, and with the suspect list a mile long, Alexa is in the race of her life to find the killer before he kills another judge on his list. And when the next victim offers a shocking twist, it throws everything Alexa thought she knew into doubt. Is this truly a vendetta? Or is this killer far more diabolical than he seems?In THE KILLING HOUR (Book #3), an infamous killer dramatically escapes death row, and Alexa’s joint task force is immediately put on the case. A high profile case with national media attention, Alexa isn’t the only one who’s called in—and between the clashes of ego with other state and federal powers, she knows the killer is only getting further away. What appears to be a straightforward manhunt, though, quickly evolves into something more complex, as more bodies turn up dead, and as the killer inexplicably eludes everyone. And when a shocking twist occurs that Alexa never saw coming, she realizes this case is far more complex—and disturbing—than she could have ever imagined. With the killer outsmarting everyone, Alexa is the only one with a mind brilliant enough to stop him, the only one standing between him and his next kill. But, weighed down by the pressure of her own traumatic past, can Alexa hold it together long enough to enter the darkest canals of his mind—and come out whole?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.Books #4-#6 in the series—THE KILLING POINT, THE KILLING FOG, and THE KILLING PLACE—are also available.“This book moved very fast and every page was exciting.

    All she wanted was an apartment 
    Amanda Jackson was used to toxic men. Its all she'd ever known. And this gorgeous blonde property manager, Connor Brooks, was a walking red flag. But she needed a place to stay, and this unit sounded amazing. She'd be crazy not to look at it. 
    For Connor, finding a mark was easy. A simple ad in the classifieds. Once they were inside, it was too late to escape. They had no way out. One look at their frightened eyes on the monitor, that's when the housebreaking could begin. 
    The second Connor closed the door, Amanda understood her situation. She was trapped and defenseless. Or was she? She has one card to play: make her captor fall for her before it was too late. 
    All she wanted was an apartment. What she got was The Cage. 
    The Cage is the first book in a dark series by Danielle Bannister, author of Girl on Fire. Because The Cage is told in dual POVs, you might be torn over if this book is a horror or a romance. Please be sure to listen with care and check for tropes on the author's website.
