    A bundle of books #1 (GIRL ONE: MURDER), #2 (GIRL TWO: TAKEN), and #3 (GIRL THREE: TRAPPED) in Molly Black’s Maya Gray FBI Suspense Thriller series! This bundle offers books one, two, and three 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? 
    
    In GIRL THREE: TRAPPED (Book #3), case three has just landed, and the clock is ticking. The suspect, a copycat of the Moonlight Killer, seems to be using sophisticated audio equipment to stay one step ahead of his victims—and Maya herself could be next. Maya, knowing the killer has her sister, has no choice but to accept the case. More determined than ever, she revisits the prison where the last convict hung himself in hopes of uncovering a new lead. But with the murderer able to track her every movement, Maya realizes that she’s the least safe of all. And in the midst of it all, a bunny escapes.
    
    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 #4-#6 in the series—GIRL FOUR: LURED, GIRL FIVE: BOUND, and GIRL SIX: FORSAKEN—are now also available.

    Would you destroy your best friend to save your husband...if he's done the unspeakable? 
     
    Ginger Mallowan embodies everything the 1980s stand for, from big hair to power suits to "Material Girl"...until her son disappears during a beach walk one night. That's the moment girls don't want to have fun anymore, and the moment she starts hunting for answers. 
     
    Now Ginger's hair is a bit flatter, her power suits packed into the attic, and her dance steps to Madonna lack the energy of better days. She hasn't found—or forgotten—her missing son, and she's only survived the grief thanks to her neighbor and keeper of secrets, Tara Christie. 
     
    Except for Ginger's darkest secret of all...about what happened the night her son disappeared. 
     
    But that vow of friendship is tested when Tara is jarred awake one night by a scream coming from next-door, where she finds Ginger standing over a dead body. Even stranger, Tara's husband is nowhere to be found. 
     
    As the investigation shakes the town to its core, and Tara's husband is charged with the murder, Tara must choose between proving her husband's innocence or protecting Ginger's past. 
     
    Little does she know they're about to stumble down a twisty path that could destroy them all. 
     
    A twisty psychological thriller that is at once a chilling murder mystery, a heartbreaking family drama, and an ode to the bond of friendship. Perfect for fans of Verity, Lisa Jewell, and The Last Thing He Told Me. 
     
    "Crane succeeds at painting families and friendships in vivid detail; women will see their tussles and triumphs in these pages, and will relish the twists and moments of brave camaraderie and bold revenge." - Booklist
