To claim the accolades he deserved. To reserve his place in history. The world now knows who he is but his 15 minutes of fame are almost over. He needs to do something spectacular to regain the spotlight.
Three girls have gone missing from local Malls around the Midwest. The police have no clues and worry that a serial killer is on the loose.
Can Jake handle one more hunt? Can he save the three girls? Will Max regain his fame by defeating the best the Marshal’s have to offer.
“This is the first of the Jake Matthews series and it’s a winner. Jake is a strong, believable character and someone you want on your side if you’re in the right. If you’re the bad guy, you’d really like him to forget all about you. The story line is like something ripped out of the headlines and, so the more chilling. I was compelled to keep reading, as I just had to know how the plot developed and how it would be resolved.” Peggy (Goodreads)
