⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lake Sakakawea's tranquil waters are disturbed by corpses marked with mysterious runes, pulling FBI Agent Kelsey Hawk into a sinister game. Amidst rising tensions between a local tribe's sacred land and a ravenous oil company, can she reveal the truth behind the symbols, or will she be swallowed by the wave of deceit?
“This book moved very fast and every page was exciting. Plenty of dialogue, you absolutely love the characters, and you were rooting for the good guy throughout the whole story… I look forward to reading the next in the series.”

DEAD WRONG is book #10 in a new series by #1 bestselling mystery and suspense author Kate Bold, whose bestseller NOT ME (a free download) has received over 1,500 five star ratings and reviews.
When she was just a child, Kelsey’s entire family was murdered, leaving her, the sole survivor, to grow up in the foster system. A rising star in the FBI, Kelsey set her ambitions on being assigned to a field office in the big city, away from the ghosts of her past. But when she’s reassigned to a small town in North Dakota, she can’t help but remember all the tragedy she fought so hard to leave behind.
Can she stop this killer in time?
A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured FBI agent, the KELSEY HAWK series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night. Fans of Rachel Caine, Teresa Driscoll, and Robert Dugoni are sure to fall in love.
Future books in the series are now available!

“Alexa Chase is headstrong, impatient, but most of all brave with a capital B. She never, repeat never, backs down until the bad guys are put where they belong. Clearly five stars!”

Good book
There are a lot of twists and turns and looking for who had created the issue throughout the book. I would highly recommend this to anyone that enjoys a murder mystery book, and especially this particular series by this author.
