The Detective Erika Foster Series: Books 4–6
Three totally gripping crime thrillers from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Robert Bryndza. Detective Erika Foster is fearless, respected, unstoppable, and she will catch a killer, whatever it takes.
Last Breath: He’s your perfect date. You’re his next victim.
When the tortured body of a young woman is found in a dumpster, her eyes swollen shut and her clothes soaked with blood, Detective Erika Foster is one of the first at the crime scene. She quickly finds a link to the unsolved murder of a woman four months earlier. Dumped in a similar location, both women have identical wounds – a fatal incision to their femoral artery.
Stalking his victims online, the killer is preying on young pretty women using a fake identity. How will Erika catch a murderer who doesn’t seem to exist?
Then another girl is abducted while waiting for a date. Erika and her team must get to her before she becomes another dead victim, and, come face to face with a terrifyingly sadistic individual.
Cold Blood: A gripping serial killer thriller that will take your breath away.
When a battered suitcase containing the dismembered body of a young man washes up on the shore of the river Thames, Detective Erika Foster is shocked. Two weeks earlier, the body of a young woman was found dumped in an identical suitcase. What connects the two victims? As Erika and her team set to work, they quickly realise they are on the trail of a serial killer who has already made their next move.
Yet just as Erika starts to make headway with the investigation, she is the target of a violent attack. Forced to recover at home, and with her personal life falling apart, everything is stacked against her, but nothing will stop Erika.
As the body count rises, the case takes an even more twisted turn when the twin daughters of Erika’s colleague, Commander Marsh, are suddenly put in terrible jeopardy. The stakes are higher than ever before, but can Erika save the lives of two innocent children before it’s too late? She’s running out of time and about to make a disturbing discovery… there’s more than one killer.
Deadly Secrets: To commit the perfect murder, you need the perfect cover.
On an icy morning, a mother wakes to find her daughter’s blood-soaked body frozen to the road. Who would carry out such a killing on the victim’s doorstep?
Straight off her last harrowing case, Detective Erika Fosteris feeling fragile but determined to lead the investigation. As she sets to work, she finds reports of assaults in the same quiet South London suburb where the woman was killed. One chilling detail links them to the murder victim – they were all attacked by a figure in black wearing a gas mask.
Erika is on the hunt for a killer with a terrifying calling card. Yet just as Erika begins to piece the clues together, she is forced to confront painful memories of her past. Erika must dig deep, stay focused and find the killer. Only this time, one of her own is in terrible danger…

Erika Foster Series:Books 4-6 By Robert Bryndza
Amazing books well worthy of 10 stars. I read well passed bedtime loath to wait for morning and when I had done my chores to carry on to the end of the books .
Twice I was convinced I had "who done it" both times was wrong, so many surprising twists in the tales. Very enjoyable read for a compulsive, addicted reader, thank Robert Bryndza.

Excellent
Just got better as I read on. Erika is smart, why doesn’t she become a working Superintendent . That would be a first for the Brits and make it interesting.

By far the best Detective books I have ever read and I have read hundreds. I'm through book 4 of this six book series and EVERY book is a page turner. When I finish book 6, I know I will go into withdrawal knowing that there is no more. And that will be sad.
Update: Just finished the final book (6) in this series and as noted above, will probably have to go withdrawal realizing that this was the last book in this series.
Read any book (start with book 1) and you will understand what I mean.
They just don't get any better!!!!!!!!!!!!!
