    When a witness in a witness protection program is killed, U.S. Marshal Alexa Chase assumes it’s related to the case. But when she hits dead ends and the mystery becomes far more complex, she realizes a serial killer may be at work. What is his pattern? Can she connect the dots in time?“This is an excellent book… When you start reading, be sure you don’t have to wake up early!”—Reader review for The Killing GameThe Killing Place (An Alexa Chase Suspense Thriller—Book 6) is book #6 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 will be available soon.“This book moved very fast and every page was exciting.
