STALKER

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE BAKER & TATE SERIES RETURNS WITH A KILLER SERIAL KILLER SERIES! When a woman testing her new drone over rural Maryland captures aerial footage of a bisected corpse in a remote ravine, FBI Special Agent Katie Ford and her veteran partner Nina Shaw are sent to investigate what appears to be an isolated killing in a town that doesn't want outsiders. But Katie recognizes something the local sheriff missed: the body has been staged to replicate the Cleveland Torso Murders of the 1930s — a case no one solved because an entire city looked the other way. As Katie builds a profile of a killer obsessed with institutional failure, she is drawn into a world of true-crime podcasts, obsessive fans, and a false confession that nearly derails the investigation. But the real predator is closer than anyone suspects — a man who vanished as a boy, lived inside the walls of strangers' homes, and has spent thirty years waiting for someone smart enough to read his message. With Nina on her final case before retirement and the fugitive Tobias Campbell still lurking in the shadows, Katie must untangle a web of sealed records, forgotten murders, and one man's lifelong crusade to prove that the justice system doesn't just fail — it protects the worst among us. And his final act will force Katie to choose between the badge she carries and the truth it was built to hide. Because the Stalker isn't finished teaching. And his last lesson is personal. STALKER is a dark, pulse-pounding FBI thriller set in the insular backroads of rural Maryland — a story of systemic rot, buried history, and the monsters the world creates when it chooses to look away. Perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Lisa Gardner, and Robert Dugoni.
