Description
The Profiler’s Daughter is a fast-paced, psychologically layered thriller with a brooding female sleuth. Forensic psychologist Sky Stone was born into the wealth and privilege of Boston’s oldest Brahman family but chooses to follow in the footsteps of her deceased father, legendary FBI profiler Monk Stone. When the body of a Boston University drug researcher is found strangled at the base of Heartbreak Hill on the morning of the Boston Marathon, Sky, brilliant but despondent over the recent death of her child, returns from self-imposed exile on Nantucket to investigate. Thirty-six hours into the investigation, Sky’s world turns upside down when she is fired from the Homicide team. They pin the murder on an innocent man, forcing Sky into a treacherous game of cat and mouse with the real killer. The Profiler’s Daughter takes the reader deep into Boston’s research labs, night clubs, and Brahman high society parties. Along the way, Sky battles an ex-lover, a mysterious KGB agent, a powerful Texas landowner, and her own demons – leading up to a final climactic scene in which she fights for her life and the life of the only eye-witness to the murder, a six year old child.
