Fatal Secrets - Allison Brennan


Allison Brennan - Fatal Secrets (FBI #2)

When a top lieutenant in a notorious ring of human traffickers agrees to turn state’s evidence, Immigration and Customs Enforcement senior agent Sonia Knight believes she’ll finally take down the illegal operation’s devilish mastermind, Xavier Jones. But when an FBI sting on Jones’s criminal enterprise collides with an ICE stakeout, Sonia is enraged: Her informant’s life and her evidence are in grave jeopardy.


FBI agent Dean Hooper has been chasing Jones for years on money-laundering and tax-evasion charges and doesn’t need or want a hot-headed ICE agent second-guessing his every move. When the Bureau is ordered to join forces with ICE, Sonia is just as livid: Her job is to save lives, not money. But their team effort pays off as fierce mutual resentment fades and passion flares–along with risk.

For Jones is just one piece of a depraved puzzle, answering to an even more dangerous predator. Denied his expected prey, this pitiless fiend intends to make Sonia and Dean pay with their own blood.

Sudden Death - Allison Brennan


Allison Brennan - Sudden Death (FBI #1)

Heroic Justice

When a homeless veteran is found dead in a squalid Sacramento alley, FBI special agent Megan Elliott vows to find the murdered hero’s killer. Her investigation gets complicated fast, for the victim, a former Delta Force soldier, is just one link in a nationwide spree of torture and murder.

Straight off a job rescuing medical missionaries, soldier-for-hire Jack Kincaid returns to his home base in the Texas border town of Hidalgo only to receive the news that one of his closest colleagues–also ex-military–has been brutally murdered. Faced with an inept local police force, Jack takes matters into his own hands.

Now, as part of a national task force to stop the sadistic killings, by-the-book Megan and burn-the-book Jack form a tense alliance, sparked with conflict and temptation. But they struggle against more than passion, for a vicious pair of killers has only just begun a rampage of evil . . . and the primary target is much closer than Megan suspects.

Allison Brennan - Playing Dead (Prison Break #3)

DEAD MAN RUNNING

Sentenced to death for crimes he didn’t commit, ex-cop Tom O’Brien is now a hunted fugitive. After fifteen years in prison, he’s determined to prove his innocence–but first he must convince his daughter, whose testimony helped put him behind bars, that he has damning evidence of a plot to frame him.

Claire is no longer the naïve teenager who arrived home to find her mother and her mother’s lover shot dead and her father holding the murder weapon. She’s a successful fraud investigator who assumes everyone lies. Though Claire is convinced of her father’s guilt, curiosity propels her to look into the disappearance of a law student who claimed to have proof of Tom’s innocence. But seeking answers only leads to more questions, reinforcing Claire’s belief that there’s no one left to trust.

Obsessed with the O’Brien case, FBI agent Mitch Bianchi befriends Claire under false pretenses, certain that Tom is not only innocent but in grave danger–and not just from the cops. As the three race toward the truth, a murderous conspiracy tightens its noose–and Claire becomes the target of an ice-cold psychopath who will kill to protect his secrets.

When the FBI is rocked by the death of one of their own, Lucy seeks the help of her boyfriend, private investigator Sean Rogan, to help put together the puzzle—and puts her career in jeopardy. But the harder she pushes for answers, the clearer the truth becomes: There’s a killer inside Quantico. Watching her every move. Waiting to kill again…

No Evil - Allison Brennan

Allison Brennan - Serie No Evil


01 - Speak No Evil

Silence is deadly.
The murder of eighteen-year-old Angie Vance was exceptionally vile–her mouth was sealed with glue, an obscenity scrawledwas across her skin, and she was suffocated in a garbage bag. The killing seems personal, so police detective Carina Kincaid focuses her efforts on the victim’s much older ex-boyfriend, Steve Thomas. But without physical evidence, Carina can’t make a collar or a case. She also can’t stop Sheriff Nick Thomas, the prime suspect’s brother, from conducting his own unwelcome investigation.

Though Nick is still scarred and unsteady from a recent confrontation with a serial killer, he’s determined to prove his brother’s innocence. But his confidence is shaken when he learns of Steve’s dark side, and when a friend of the murdered girl meets a similarly gruesome fate. With no time to lose, Carina and Nick work together to trap a psychopath, before another unlucky woman faces an unspeakable end.

Evil has spoken. Now see what it can do.




02 - See No Evil

A cunning killer hides in plain sight.

A troubled teenage girl has been charged with the grisly murder of her stepfather. The evidence is damning: Emily was found alone at the scene with blood on her hands, and an incriminating e-mail she wrote outlines a murder plot identical to the method of the brutal slaying. But deputy district attorney Julia Chandler believes her niece is innocent, and she’s determined to keep the promise she made to protect her dead brother’s daughter–even if it means hiring private eye Connor Kincaid . . . the man who blames her for forcing his resignation from the police department.

Together Julia and Connor uncover a chain of unsolved violent crimes tied to an unorthodox therapist whose anonymous online patients purge their anger by posting lethal fantasies. But someone in the group has turned vigilante, turning the game of virtual murder into a flesh-and-blood vendetta.

After evil is seen, face your ultimate fear.




03 - Fear No Evil

In cyberspace, no one can hear you scream.

Instead of preparing for her high school graduation, Lucy Kincaid is facing a vicious execution. Lured by an online predator, she’s destined to die horribly–live on the Internet–while hundreds of heartless viewers watch and vote on the method of her slaughter. Her family’s only hope rests with Kate Donovan, an FBI agent who took on the same sadistic killer once before . . . and lost. Blamed for another girl’s gruesome murder, Kate’s been fighting to clear her name. But she agrees to join the hunt for Lucy–and reluctantly steps back into her worst nightmare.

With time running out before the bloody webcast airs, Kate teams up with forensic psychiatrist Dillon Kincaid to get inside the head of her twisted quarry, zero in on his chamber of horrors, and reach Lucy before grim history repeats itself and another innocent’s brutal death goes hideously live.

Face the fear. Speak its name. See its face.

Ahora, El carnicero vuelve a actuar. Miranda ya no es la presa, sino el cazador: sabe que atraparlo es la única manera de volver a encontrar la paz.

Porque Miranda sabe que, a pesar de las dificultades, incluso a pesar del amor, encontrará al monstruo que ha corroído su alma.

AUNQUE SEA A COSTA DE OLVIDAR EL AMOR.

El precio de su decisión fue perderla para siempre... hasta que el destino ha querido volver a unirlos, en una recreación de la pesadilla del pasado. De nuevo, ambos se internan en el bosque, en busca de la bestia asesina... y de una pasión arrebatadora.
 
 
 
 
Allison Brennan - The Kill (Predator #3)

Cuando recibe la noticia de que el asesino de su hermana ha salido de prisión, Olivia St. Martin, agente del FBI, cae en la desesperación. Pero el ADN no miente: el hombre encarcelado era inocente, y eso significa que el sádico que violó y asesinó a su hermana treinta años atrás, cuando no era más que una niña, sigue libre y puede volver a matar. La aparición de varios cadáveres de niñas rubias en Seattle hace que Olivia, sin ninguna autorización de sus superiores, se presente en el lugar para colaborar con la policía local. Zack Travis, el curtido policía que lleva la investigación, pronto se siente atraído por aquella extraña agente federal, atractiva y reservada, que parece estar mucho más implicada en el caso de lo que admite. Pero Olivia está dispuesta a pasar por encima de sus sentimientos, y de su propia carrera si es necesario, para detener al hombre que más odia en el mundo. Un criminal que sigue al acecho, esperando ansioso a su próxima presa, listo para matar de nuevo.

UNA VIDA ROTA POR UN CRIMEN...

Olivia tenía sólo cinco años cuando un extraño se llevó a su hermana de la mano en el parque para siempre. Aquel momento marcó su vida. Tras una infancia desgraciada en el seno de una familia incapaz de superar la pérdida, se dedicó en cuerpo y alma a su trabajo en el FBI, en la seguridad del laboratorio científico, lejos de la violencia de las calles. Cuando descubre que el hombre que está en prisión no fue el que mató a su hermana, y que el verdadero asesino ha seguido regando de sangre inocente las ciudades del país durante años, decide jugárselo todo para detenerle. Aunque eso incluya mentir a sus superiores, y también a Zack, el primer hombre que ha sido capaz de hacerla sentir auténtica pasión después de tantos años de mantener su corazón amurallado frente al mundo.

QUE SÓLO PODRÁ REEMPRENDER TRAS LA CAZA

Zack sabe muy bien qué es perder a alguien querido. Su propia hermana murió años atrás, y el dolor le ha convertido en un hombre entregado a su trabajo en cuerpo y alma. Como todos los policías, desconfía de los federales, pero no puede dejar de admitir que le intriga saber quién es realmente la agente que se ha presentado en este caso ofreciendo su ayuda. Sabe que ella guarda en su interior un dolor parecido al suyo, y un secreto que no deja aflorar más que en los momentos más emotivos. Pero pronto Olivia St. Martin se convierte en algo más que un aliado imprescindible para cazar a la bestia que mata niñas en Seattle. Zack intuye que si llega al interior del alma que hay tras ese cuerpo atractivo y esa actitud cortante encontrará la mujer que lleva años buscando. Pero para lograrlo, antes ha de acabar con el criminal que la obsesiona.
