In
the ninth romantic suspense novel in the New York Times bestselling
Tracers series, author Laura Griffin brings back her elite cadre of forensic
experts as they hunt down the most brutal serial killer yet.
Special Agent Tara Rushing arrives
at a grisly murder scene and quickly discovers she’s got a serial killer on her
hands. The killer is meticulous, making sure to wipe up even the smallest
traces of evidence…but the Delphi Center experts are on the case.
The local sheriff has a suspect all
picked out—ex-Marine and current security expert Liam Wolfe. Despite all her
digging, Tara knows very little about Liam when she shows up at his sprawling
Texas compound, which serves as headquarters for Wolfe Security, and she’s
surprised by her intense physical reaction to him.
As she and Liam grow closer, Tara
finds herself depending on his skills and expertise to help her track a killer.
But when another body turns up, Tara must decide if she can trust the man who’s
quickly stealing her heart.
The ninth novel in the Tracers
series that combines gripping plot twists with spine-tingling romance, Shadow
Fall once again proves that “Laura Griffin gets better with each book”
(The Romance Reviews).
Tara looked out the window again and
realized her pulse was still thrumming. He unnerved her. It wasn’t just his
size, it was his attitude. Maybe she was self-conscious because he’d caught her
off guard. She was definitely embarrassed that she’d pulled her weapon on him.
She adjusted the vent and got a waft
of hot air. His attitude bothered her, but she liked his truck. It smelled like
leather and earth and felt deliciously warm. She forced herself to ignore the
flutter of nerves generated by being alone in the dark with him. The nerves
weren’t from fear but something else. And she wondered which was worse, being
afraid of a man she was investigating or being attracted to him?
“You shouldn’t come out here alone.”
She looked at him. “Why not?”
“We’ve got more than a few meth
heads around here. You don’t want to walk up on something, not without backup.”
She watched his face in the dimness,
uneasy with the protective tone of his voice.
“We confirmed the ID today,” she
said.
“I know.”
That ticked her off.
“Won’t be long till the media has
it,” he added.
“Where are you getting your
information?”
He didn’t answer.
“And the other day,” she said,
“how’d you know we were here, me and M.J.? Are you having us tailed?”
Even if he was, he’d probably never
admit it. But she at least needed to ask and get his reaction. Shadowing investigators
could definitely be considered suspicious behavior.
Although she had to be honest with
herself. She didn’t consider him a real suspect. Despite his links to the
victim, she simply didn’t feel it.
“I’m guessing you filmed us
approaching your property and ran my plate,” she said.
The corner of his mouth lifted.
“Nothing that cloak-and- dagger.” He glanced at her. “I’m friends with
Crystal.”
“Who’s Crystal?”
“She waited on you at the Waffle
Stop. Bright red hair, eyebrow ring.”
She turned to face the window.
“Small-town grapevine. And here I’ve been all impressed with your spying
abilities.”
“You should be.” He pulled up to her
Explorer and parked. “We’re the best there is.”
She looked at him in the darkness,
so confident it bordered on arrogance. And the crazy thing was she believed
him. She bought into it completely—he was that good.
His eyes locked on hers, and the air
between them felt charged with electricity. His gaze dropped to her mouth, and
her heart skittered. Was he going to kiss her? He eased closer, watching her,
making her heart pound.
