One touch, and she’s inside your head... Dr. Autumn Trent used to be normal. She went to school, loved her younger sister, and adored animals of every kind. She even loved her parents. Too bad they didn’t love her in return. In an instant, everything shifted. With one final blow from her father, her life changed...for both good and bad. The foster system sucked her down, and her new adoptive parents pulled her back up. A brain injury left her with a scar, and it also left her with a knowledge she can’t explain.

And she wants to know why. Even if it kills her to find out. If Autumn seems familiar, that’s because you’ve met her in Mary Stone’s highly acclaimed Winter Black Series. In Winter’s series, Autumn fights for justice with the FBI team. Her Doctor of Jurisprudence as well as a Ph.D. in Forensic Psychology give her insights into the human mind. So does her touch. How did Autumn transform from a girl to a woman with a slew of advanced degrees? Autumn’s Rise is the prequel to Mary’s brand new Autumn Trent Series, and will take you back to the beginning.

As the body count rises, so do the stakes as the killer escalates quickly. What began as a hunt for a nineteen year old girl turns into Autumn’s game of cat and mouse.

It’s kismet when she’s called out on a case with the team—pregnant women are disappearing in Lavender Lake, Florida.

Plagued by guilt and haunted by the memory of her little brother before he was kidnapped and groomed by The Preacher, Autumn knows that Winter would do anything for Justin. She should have stopped Winter from visiting her brother in the maximum-security treatment program for the criminally insane so soon after his capture. Could Winter have helped him escape? Or is she his next victim? Now, Autumn must put aside her guilt to focus on the only thing that matters. They have to find Winter...before it’s too late.

Still waters run deep. And deadly. Since joining the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit, Special Agent Autumn Trent has watched her team disintegrate. A longtime agent was shot dead by his own partner, who later died by suicide. Two transferred, her best friend switched careers, and then her boss/boyfriend was blown up before her eyes. She’s one of the last left standing, barely holding on beneath the crushing weight of her grief. But she’s still here. And she has a job to do. A young woman has been found strangled at a mini-golf course, her head submerged in the castle moat. Her death mirrors two others within the last month. Each victim was young, blond, blue-eyed, and carefully positioned in eerily similar scenes. Three identical murders leave no room for coincidence. This is the work of a serial killer. Killing unsuspecting women is child’s play to him. As Autumn scrambles to decipher his twisted motives, she faces an even darker threat. The same ruthless adversary who tore her life apart by murdering her boyfriend has Autumn in their crosshairs. They’ll stop at nothing until she, too, has fallen. Autumn’s Riddle, the fifth book in Season Two of Mary Stone’s bestselling Autumn Trent FBI Series, gives “water hazard” a whole new meaning.
