Before He Kills (A Mackenzie White Mystery—Book 1)

From #1 bestselling author Blake Pierce comes a heart-pounding new mystery
series. In the cornfields of Nebraska a woman is found murdered, strung up on
a pole, the victim of a deranged killer. It doesn’t take long for the police
to realize a serial killer is on the loose—and that his spree has just begun.
Detective Mackenzie White, young, tough, smarter than the aging, chauvinistic
men on her local force, finds herself called in grudgingly to help solve it.
As much as the other officers hate to admit it, they need her young, brilliant
mind, which has already helped crack cold cases that had left them stumped.
Yet even for Mackenzie this new case proves an impossible riddle, something
the likes of which she—and the local force—have ever seen. With the FBI called
in, together, an intense manhunt ensues. Mackenzie, reeling from her own dark
past, her failed relationships, and her undeniable attraction to the new FBI
agent, finds herself battling her own demons as her hunt for the killer takes
her to the darkest places of her mind. As she delves into the killer’s mind,
obsessing over his twisted psychology, she finds that evil truly does exist.
She only hopes it will not be too late to extricate herself from it, as her
entire life collapses around her. As more bodies turn up dead and a frantic
race against time ensues, there is no way out but to find him before he kills
again. A dark psychological thriller with heart-pounding suspense, BEFORE HE
KILLS marks the debut of a riveting new series—and a beloved new
character—that will leave you turning pages late into the night. Book #2 in
the Mackenzie White Mystery series will be available soon. Also available by
