Lips

by Ken Corre

LIPS is a sequel to Ken’s second novel, The Hacker. JAN STARK has left the comfort of the Denver Police Department. She and her mentor, HARLEY CRAWFORD, Chief of the Homicide division, had set an elaborate trap that allowed them to silence the gruesome serial killer dubbed The Hacker. Harley Crawford retired and it was time for Jan to move on. Owing to her near-prodigy abilities, including her formidable intellect, intense focus, prowess with the handgun and confidential information in her personnel file, she became the youngest field agent drafted into the FBI’s Violent Crime Apprehension division (VICAP).But, this was far from an ordinary crime-fighting gig. She was inducted into an elite subunit of VICAP, unbeknownst to all but a few people in high federal places, composed of agents who were given a very wide latitude and plenty of funding, for hands-on involvement. They could work with the local reporting detectives or not, their choice. Jan’s unit was formed to produce results. Their vision was now proactive, not reactive. Results meant perps. But not just any perps, vile and lethal perps. Jan’s meteoric rise within the ranks of law enforcement continued unbridled; that is, until the unthinkable happened. Harley is forced out of retirement, but is it too late?
