Andrea Kane

Your little girl has been stolen. How far would you go to get her back?

One hour ago, Hope Willis's daughter got into a car identical to her mother's. A stranger's car. It took less than 10 seconds for the locks to close.

A team on the outside of the law is the only hope. But they demand absolute truth and dark secrets are lurking. A twin sister snatched 32 years ago, a safe packed full of dirty money, a sordid affair one parent will do anything to keep secret.

I'm scared. I don't know where I am.

I keep calling your name, but you don't come. Where are you Mummy?

Please come.

Each day is a struggle for Amanda Gleason's newborn son as he battles a rare immune deficiency. Justin's best chance for a cure lies with his father, who was brutally murdered before Amanda had known she was carrying his child. Or was he?

One email changes everything. An email that contains a recent photo of a man who looks exactly like Paul. Could Justin's father be alive? Amanda is desperate to find out. But tracking down a ghost when every second counts is not for amateurs.

Forensic Instincts is the one team up for the challenge. A behaviourist. A former navy SEAL. A techno–wizard. An intuitive. A retired FBI agent. A human scent–evidence dog. Pushing ethical and legal boundaries, together they can achieve the impossible.

The manhunt is on for the elusive father. Yet the further Forensic Instincts digs into his past, the more questions are raised about whether the man Amanda fell in love with ever really existed at all...

From the congressional halls of Washington, to exclusive Hamptons manors, there are ruthless people who would stop at nothing to make Forensic Instincts forget about the man Amanda desperately needs to find and the shocking truth that transcends the line between here and gone.

Who wants Madeline Westfield dead? And why?

The Forensic Instincts team needs to find out who's targeting their client. Under the leadership of Casey Woods, the investigators have the resources to do just that, working inside the law–and outside it. Casey's associate, former Navy SEAL Marc Devereaux, is a man who's equal to any situation. Except maybe this one…

Because Madeline's the only woman Marc's ever loved–and his only weakness. Now a nurse at Manhattan Memorial, she's terrified. Her life is in danger, so she turns to him for help.

Manhattan Memorial is in turmoil. There's a merger in the works, and the staff is still haunted by their hospital administrator's sudden death–during heart surgery performed by Madeline's ex–husband, Conrad. A surgery at which Madeline was present.

With a growing list of suspects, Forensic Instincts will have to figure out who had the greatest motive to silence Madeline. And they'll have to do it fast.

It begins with a chilling phone call to Casey Woods. And ends with another girl dead.

College–age girls with long red hair are being brutally murdered. Each crime scene is eerily similar to the twisted fantasy of a serial offender now serving thirty years to life – a criminal brought to justice with the help of Forensic Instincts.

Call. Kill. Repeat. But the similarities are more than one psychopath's desire to outdo another. As more red–haired victims are added to the body count, it becomes clear that each one has been chosen because of a unique connection to Casey – a connection that grows closer and closer to her.

Now the Forensic Instincts team must race to uncover the identity of a serial killer before his ever–tightening circle of death closes in on the ultimate target – Casey. As the stalker methodically moves in on his prey, his actions make one thing clear: he knows everything about Casey. And Casey realises that this psychopath won't stop until he makes sure she's dead.
