The Numbers Killer — Jenifer Ruff

Gripping plotlines, shocking crimes, twisted criminals, and a courageous, compassionate FBI agent make the award-winning Agent Victoria Series unforgettable thrillers. Each novel features a different investigation and can be read as a standalone. Welcome to book one, The Numbers Killer.

A key FBI witness is found dead in his kitchen with strange messages written on his forehead.

Agent Victoria Heslin is assigned to investigate. Her boss believes the murder is a hit to silence the witness, but the facts Victoria discovers say otherwise.

As she follows the leads, calls start coming in -- more dead bodies, each corpse left with a different message. With no common denominator connecting seemingly innocent victims, Victoria fears anyone might be next. Then the killer leaves a personal note for Victoria. And another. The authorities in D.C. and Virginia are panicking about the rising body count. To protect the public and herself, Victoria can't waste a minute in identifying the disturbed spree killer and uncovering the deep, dark secrets motivating the murders, which prove to be anything but random.

With The Numbers Killer, USA Today bestselling author Jenifer Ruff introduces the first in a series of smart and gripping suspense thrillers with powerful twists.
