The Black Pill — L.J. Sellers

A bizarre murder, a missing woman, and a pack of online predators. Can Jackson and Dallas stop the disturbing crime spree? A body wrapped in plastic turns up in the middle of the road-with no ID and no viable explanation. The pressure builds when Detective Jackson must also locate a missing woman that few people seem to know. Both victims lived on society's edge, so witnesses and leads are scarce. Worried that the woman's life is in peril, Jackson resorts to following her ex-boyfriend, but the effort backfires in a deadly way. Across the country, FBI Agent Jamie Dallas takes on a dangerous undercover assignment-tracking a sexual predator who brags about his assaults in a perverse dark-web forum. She travels to Jackson's hometown and soon discovers that her target's crimes are just the opening salvo. Yet confronting the hatemongers could get her killed.The investigators race the clock to find the victims, but will they discover the connection in time to save all the women caught in the deviant trap? Flawless pacing, fascinating characters, and a plot woven together with seamless complexity: The Black Pill is one of LJ Sellers' most masterful works.-Andrew Kaufman, bestselling thriller writer Author's Note: When I traveled to Costa Rica to visit my grandchildren, I ended up rescuing them from a dangerous cult and running through the jungle from armed men.
