Victims found with a single, mysterious feather on their bodies. An ex-con FBI agent, unchained. A maniacal serial killer who will stop at nothing…

Superstar FBI Agent Morgan Cross was at the height of her career when she was framed, wrongly imprisoned, and sent to do 10 hard years in prison. Finally exonerated and set free, Morgan emerges from jail as a changed person—hardened, ruthless, closed off to the world, and unsure how to start again. When the FBI comes knocking, desperately needing Morgan to return and hunt down a killer who seems to be obsessed with drowning, Morgan is torn. Morgan is not the same person, no longer willing to play by the rules, and will stop at nothing this time. In a non-stop thriller, it will be a deadly cat and mouse chase between a diabolical killer and an ex-con FBI agent who has nothing left to lose—with a new victim’s fate riding on it all.

Morgan is struggling to solve the case in which a killer leaves feathers of rare birds with the victims, there are no leads and people keep on being murdered. At the same time she has to work with her lack of trust on Derik, her FBI partner, and the kidnapping of her dog which is linked with the search for the reasons she was put in jail for 10 years. For Once is a good book for those who enjoy reading mysteries with a lot of action and a good plot.
I thank Ms. Pierce for this ARC.

I love the true crime aspect of this series; but goodness gracious she must have TMJ with how much she "clenches her jaw". The repetitive language is getting a little annoying.
