Run for Her Life: A completely gripping and heart-stopping serial killer thriller

She runs through the woods as fast as she can, her bare feet trampling the damp earth beneath her. Her heart is pounding so fast it might burst out of her chest. But he’s catching up, and as her legs give out, she knows she’s out of time…

Special Agent Zoe Storm’s heartbeat quickens when she sees the body of a young woman found in the woods, her tangled locks sprawled around her lifeless face. Just days before, a lock of hair was sent to Zoe’s FBI office with a note pointing to a missing young mother in Pineview Falls. Is this the woman the killer wanted her to find?

When DNA evidence shows that the lock of hair actually belonged to a teenager who died in a fire that killed six others, and autopsy results show the missing woman was exposed to heat before she died, Zoe feels sure she’s hunting one suspect. But when a call comes in to say another woman has vanished, Zoe needs to find the link fast before someone else pays with their life.

Digging deeper, Zoe’s blood turns to ice when she uncovers her own dark connection to the fire. Could she be next on the kill list? To stop a killer in their tracks, she’ll need to confront a deadly secret that she’s spent years running from. Zoe will do whatever it takes to save another innocent life but how much will she have to sacrifice?

An unputdownable serial killer thriller in the Zoe Storm series packed with jaw-dropping twists. Fans of Lisa Regan, Kendra Elliot and Melinda Leigh will be hooked from start to finish.
