Frozen Stiff

The two corpses are mutilated. Naked. Frozen solid. It's only a matter of time before the killer strikes again. With no evidence, no leads, and no clues, the local PD has no choice but to call in the FBI. Enter FBI recruit Chase Adams. While she may be new to the Bureau, Chase is no rookie when it comes to murder. First a Narcotics Officer in Seattle, then a NYPD Detective, Chase has insight into the workings of some of the most demented minds of our society. But this case will push even Chase to the limits–it's like nothing she has investigated before. The local PD thinks they have things wrapped up nicely, but Chase isn't at all convinced. When a third and fourth body surfaces across the country, Chase realizes that she is on the hunt for a killer whose murder spree knows no boundaries. What sort of animal could commit such atrocities? And why? Chase fears that these murders are only the beginning. But what she doesn't know is that as she closes in on the murderer, he's closing in on her. And her family. This might be FBI recruit Chase Adams' first case, but if she doesn't catch the killer soon, it may also be her last.

Fresh off her first case, FBI Agent Chase Adams finds herself on the road again, this time with a new partner. But before she can even arrive in Chicago, the killer strikes again, bringing the victim total to four. To make matters worse, the killer seems to be taunting Chase, leaving a trail of confusing evidence that leads to nowhere. The local PD is convinced that they're looking for a single suspect, a man who charms his way into women’s homes before seducing and murdering them. Chase, however, isn't so sure. There's a shadow lurking, a suspect hanging just outside her periphery, one that may or may not be a demon from her own past. One thing is for certain, if Chase doesn't get her act together and catch the killer soon, she may very well become the fifth victim. \*Newly edited and revised, October 2018

FBI Special Agent Chase Adams has hit rock bottom. Literally. Found in a rock quarry in Virginia, Chase is battered, bruised, and clinging to life. It takes the collective efforts of the few people she hasn't burned over the years to drag her back to the land of the living and make sure that she stays there. But their efforts aren't entirely altruistic. While Chase undoubtedly needs her friends, the FBI also needs her. They have two dead bodies on their hands, but these aren't your regular run-of-the-mill vics. Two prominent politicians are shot dead in broad daylight in Washington, D.C., the only clue being the presence of a low flying drone at both scenes. One thing is clear, however; there will be more deaths if the killer's demands aren't met. The only problem is, the FBI has no idea what the killer wants. Neither does the ATF nor the Secret Service. Which is why they need Chase and her special ability, her strange capacity to see through the eyes of the dead, in order to find out who's behind these murders before they strike again. But Chase isn't sure if she can handle going back into the field after what happened in Tennessee, let alone whether her talent will lead them anywhere. Or if she can keep her own demons at bay long enough to catch another killer before they strike again. Scroll up to order the thrilling fifth chapter in The Chase Adams FBI series, DIRTY MONEY today!

True story: I used to cut up bodies. No, not for fun, you sick bastards–for work. After reaching the age of majority and fleeing the clutches of an overprotective mother, I went to university like a good boy. More than a decade later and an alphabet soup of letters after my name, I found myself looking down the double-chamber of a microscope at an eyeball. Feeling ironically introspective, I decided that it was time for a change. Three years and more than three-dozen novels later, I’ve found my true calling, one that also includes letters.
