Rate this book
Tracy Sterling has been hired to clear a prominent political figure of murder. There’s just one complication ...

... the murder hasn’t happened yet.

In the chilling sequel to "Lies and Bones,"

Tracy Sterling is back, but this time she's playing by her own rules. She’s left the city's grim alleys for the private sector. But it won’t take long for her to realize that this world is just as bloody as the last.

She's been hired by a prominent senator, a man whose reputation teeters on the brink of ruin. His future is shrouded in a sinister prediction of bloodshed, a crime that threatens to topple his career and destroy his life.

Someone will kill a young woman very soon. And he expects that he will be the one to blame.

With each tick of the clock, the future crime morphs from an elusive possibility into a grim reality. Tracy is racing against time, and her failure could result in more than one death.

The line between friend and foe blurs in the face of a looming murder. With a relentless enemy predicting every move, Tracy finds herself in a deadly game of cat and mouse.

Who is this killer? What secrets is the senator withholding? Can Tracy prevent a crime that hasn't yet occurred? And if not, will she be able to find the killer before he strikes again?

Every step drags Tracy deeper into a web of intrigue, deceit and impending violence. Her relentless pursuit of the truth leads her through the city's political power corridors, where secrets thrive, and trust is a scarce commodity.

"Capitol Killer" is a relentless, pulse-pounding thriller. Fans of John Sandford, Jeffery Deaver, Karin Slaughter, Lisa Gardner, David Baldacci, Michael Connelly, James Patterson, Tess Gerritsen, and Patricia Cornwell will be captivated by the relentless Tracy Sterling in this high-stakes mystery thriller.

We’re born into a world of flames and you can spend your whole life trying to put fires out. But you’ll just end up old and tired, and the flames will burn on long after you’re dead.

There are so many ways it can go wrong. So why sprint into a buzzsaw.

Tracy now is a PI. She is approached by a senator's campaign manager to help prevent a murder. The plot has twists and turns. Even the ending makes the reader wonder about our politicians.
