If you're on her list, you'd better run...

A tough private detective faces off against a serial killer in this noir mystery by J. D. Allen, the bestselling author of the Sin City Investigations series.

SHE'S OUT FOR BLOOD...

Sophie Evers always gets what she wants, and Dan Hodge is at the top of her hit list. Standing over her latest victim, she dials the number for Sin City Investigations with a bloody hand.

Detective Jim Bean will serve her well.

HE NEEDS A CLIENT...

Jim Bean is dead broke. So when a high-paying client hires him to find her brother Dan, he jumps on the case without questioning her true motives, unaware that this might be the last mistake he ever makes...

BUT WHEN SHE TRACKS DOWN HER PREY...

Jim locates Dan, unwittingly leading a serial killer straight to her prey. As Jim discovers the truth about Sophie, he'll risk everything to protect the latest targets on her list-and himself.

ALL BETS ARE OFF.

When Sophie captures someone close to Jim as a hostage, he must stop her from carrying out her twisted plan-before she adds another name to her list of 19 victims.

A must-read twisty mystery in the vein of Lee Goldberg, Mary Stone, and James Patterson
