Edge Of Death

by Maura Sheridan

Meredith Brantley has had enough of the FBI. She used to be one of their best profilers, able to use the barest evidence to construct a killer's identity, to discover his motive, to figure out where he would strike next. But she's through with having to enter the warped mind of a killer. Now she teaches criminology to college students. Until she gets a desperate phone call...

The Bureau needs her again. Badly. The body of a beautiful young woman has been found near the West Side Highway in Manhattan -- in pieces. This is no ordinary murder. There's a method to this madness, and Meredith recognizes it as the work of a possible serial killer. Reluctantly, she agrees to take the case, determined to stop this maniac before he kills again. But what she discovers as she digs deeper will chill her blood -- and attract unwanted attention from the killer.

Meredith Brantley is now a professor but she used to be a profiler. Joshua, an old friend/lover/co-worker, pulls her back to profile and investigate a new serial killer. This killer starts with Sumi, a former student of Brantley who was interested in the Manson Murders. There are a lot of suspects including her father. They find out the link is cutting - all the victims were seeing a therapist because of cutting. In the end, they catch the killer who was hiding in plain sight.

I read this back in the Summer of 2005. I remember I enjoyed this book. It looks like this is the only book by the author.
