The Coast-to-Coast Murders A Thriller

A detective and an FBI agent join forces on what seems like an open-and-shut case, but a new rash of killings sends them on a pulse-pounding race against time in this intense thriller from the world's #1 bestselling author.

A police detective and an FBI agent race to stop a spree killer who begins in Los Angeles, then heads east.
