The Warren Files #2
Crooked Principles
Elijah Warren was a workaholic for the FBI, but during his hunt for the vicious “Poetic Murderer,” he fell in love with Aurelia Blanc—a beautiful and erudite forensic pathologist—and they barely escaped with their lives. They’ve since left the FBI for slower days and a mountain cabin, but a desperate call from remote Alaska leaves them not a choice.
Grizzly is a town of less than a hundred people, and for twelve straight years one of them has been killed. No one talks about the murders, like long- ignored secrets. In fact, it seems no one talks at all. But there’s a sick change in the pattern of death, and a mournful mother wants answers after her five- year-old son is stabbed and bludgeoned to death.
Something is very wrong in the diffident town of Grizzly, and stranded by the winter, Elijah and Aurelia face the killer daily, with paranoia as real as the icy air of Alaska. This is nothing like they’ve faced before.
Whose dark past will reveal Grizzly’s secrets?

"People are strange, when you're a stranger. Faces look ugly when you're alone." -JIm Morrison
There is an evil duplicity in the faces of the townspeople in remote Grizzly, Alaska where we rejoin our star-crossed agents. Retired from the FBI and getting some much needed 'R&R' after solving the case of the 'Poetic Murderer' that brought them together, it seems Elijah and Aurelia's investigative days are behind them. They are drawn back into action by a distraught mother who wants to find closure to the brutal death of her only son; but who lives thousands of miles away in a blizzard locked town reluctant to give up its secrets to outsiders. What they uncover in the frozen snow drifts is a mystery far more sinister.
Airplane crashes, wolf attacks, serial killers, and a creepy mine buried deep in the mountains. Put on your down parka and pull up your wool socks. Mr. Cady's second novel in the the Warren Files Trilogy will chill you to the bone!

Crooked Principles by Kevin Cady is the second novel in this exciting series. I was hooked. There was enough danger, risks, and mystery to keep my interest. My eyes were glued to every word. The plot was engaging. The pages seemed to fly by quickly. Fear, death, and a dark game from a killer is chilling to read. Suspenseful, edgy, and thrilling...I recommend this mystery/thriller to readers everywhere.
