Killer Instincts: A Lee Kilburn FBI Thriller (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798292842774)

How do you stop a killer no one else believes in?

In a small Pennsylvania town a madman known only as The Mask Collector, stalks the vulnerable. His signature is unmistakable: victims displayed in public places, their heads wrapped in gauze, a cryptic symbol left behind.

And he's only getting started.

Called in by a desperate former colleague, ex-FBI profiler Lee Kilburn knows this case is more than it seems. He's seen that mark before. Years ago, it nearly destroyed him.

Once the Bureau's brightest star, Lee left it all behind after a serial killer murdered his wife. Now, living off the grid with only his dog for company, he's sworn never to go back. But when the bodies start piling up, Lee is dragged into a nightmare that blurs the line between myth and reality.

With the help of investigator Eliza Martinez and her team of experts, Lee must outwit a predator who's always two steps ahead. A killer who may not be working alone. Because the symbol left at every crime scene points to something bigger, darker, and more dangerous than any one man.

This killer isn't just leaving bodies behind. He's leaving a message meant for Lee.

Killer Instincts is the first novel in the pulse-pounding Lee Kilburn FBI Mystery Thrillers, perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, Karin Slaughter, and C.J. Box.
