The Fourth Floor (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798295857980)

LeighAnne Valentina Rhodes is a profiler. She reads people for a living. She finds what they are hiding. She builds the case from the evidence and she does not look away. She has done this for years. She has never once done it to herself.

When LeighAnne returns to the fourth floor of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement after a near-fatal childbirth and an emergency hysterectomy, she tells herself the hardest part is over. She has survived the operating table. She has survived the slow, invisible collapse of her marriage. All she has to do now is get back to work.

But the moment she walks back through those doors, something shifts. A new partner who sees her too clearly. A case that mirrors her own life with uncomfortable precision. And someone inside the building who has been quietly building a file on her - and waiting for the right moment to use it.

LeighAnne has spent her career making the invisible visible. She profiles killers. She reads the architecture of harm in a single sentence, a single silence, a single hesitation. She is among the best her division produces. What she has never been able to do is turn that same forensic eye on the life she goes home to.

The Fourth Floor is the story of a woman who finally becomes the investigator in her own case. A marriage. A system. A body that survived what it was never supposed to survive. And the one question she has been avoiding for a decade: if she applies the same precision to her own life that she applies to everyone else's - what will the evidence say?

On the fourth floor, no one's record is clean. And for the first time, she is telling the truth.
