This second in the series featuring SSA Sayer Altair continues with nonstop action, incredible description, and fascinating characters.
After 6 months of desk duty while recovering from a gunshot wound, Agent Altair is called to a situation in Virginia's Shenandoah National Park.. An FBI agent and his cadaver dog discovered a sinkhole filled with old human bones and 2 fresh bodies. What does this have to do with an historical missing person report and a kidnapping in the area? Without a task force, Sayer has to recruit locally but she is lucky enough to obtain the services of the recent amputee, Ezra, her old tech genius from Quantico. As they probe the connections between the cold cases, some alarming details come to light and they all need to stay ahead of the killer who seems to be everywhere and who means them harm.
I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning to finish this after starting late in the evening because I simply could not put it down or go to bed until I turned the very last page. The writing kept me fully engaged and I devoured the Greek lore and mythology. This is definitely a set of books that you want to read from the beginning, in order, and all at once if you can. I loved the setting and the way the author created a word picture of the many caves and mine shafts in the area. There's so much going on and the investigation is very complicated but so very interesting. I can't wait to start number 3 next!
Thank you to Minotaur Books courtesy of Edelweiss for this e-book ARC to read, review and recommend.
This is the second in the series and I think they should be read in order.
Genre - serial killer thriller
