She’s one of BAU’s rising stars and the go-to agent for hard-to-crack serial cases.

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 TEN: WANTED (book #10), new victims are appearing near bodies of water, and the clue linking them is just out of Maya’s reach. When she finally has a realization, a shocking twist leaves her in the crosshairs, and makes her realize she just may be out of time….
