No one outruns a dirty past . . .

When police pull the bloated corpse of a young woman out of the river, FBI agent Claudia Seagal investigates.  But first, they have to find out the victim’s identity.  No one locally claims to know her. Was she a runaway? Or caught in modern slavery?

As they try to identify the woman, a bombing kills three people in San Francisco, and a new terrorist group claims victory.  But the evidence ties into an old case of Claudia’s where a gunrunner died in custody.

Claudia is up for a promotion, and her relationship with robotics expert, Baxter Cruise, is now kind of a thing. When a major investor asks Baxter to join a hot startup company, his professional prospects glisten. But clouds from his dark past threaten to destroy their lives.

While she hunts for a killer, new evidence shakes her confidence. What she thought was solid now quivers, spiraling her closer to a devastating end.

RECOMMENDED READING ORDER:

All my stories intersect, so your favorite characters in one novel may reappear in a completely different series.  Mine is a single story world, where storylines and people cross into other lives.

   THE MASTERS’ KEY

   DEAD STORM

The Cruise FBI Thriller Series
