The Final Profile

Fifteen years ago, FBI agent Jessica Stone failed to catch the serial killer known only as Ledger. She buried the case, the memories, and the guilt—until a body turns up in a Manhattan high-rise with Ledger's signature spiral paperclip in hand. Ledger is back. Or maybe… he never stopped. As Jessica dives into a twisted trail of corruption, ritualistic murders, and long-buried secrets, she discovers a chilling connection between the victims: they're all tied to the financial elite—and to a mysterious Vatican-linked fund that vanished years ago. The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes: this isn't just a killing spree. It's a doctrine. And she's been the target all along. From glittering Wall Street galas to abandoned psychiatric hospitals and the hidden tunnels beneath New York, Jessica races to unmask the killer who knows her better than anyone—and who's grooming her for a final, unspeakable role. The Final Profile is a razor-sharp psychological thriller with echoes of Mindhunter and Silence of the Lambs—where every clue cuts deeper, and the profile you build might be your own. Perfect for fans of Meg Gardiner, Tana French, and Thomas Harris.
