The Numbers Killer

Welcome to the award-winning adventures of FBI Agent Victoria Heslin. Each "can't-put-it-down" book in the series features a different investigation and can be read as a standalone.
A key FBI witness is found dead in his kitchen with strange messages written on his forehead: the word "liar" and "2."
Agent Victoria Heslin is assigned to investigate. Her boss believes the murder is a hit to silence the witness, but the facts Victoria discovers say otherwise. As she follows the leads, calls start coming in-more dead bodies, each corpse left with a different message. With no common denominator connecting seemingly innocent victims, Victoria fears anyone might be next.
Then the killer leaves a personal note for Victoria. And another. The authorities in D.C. and Virginia are panicking about the rising body count. To protect the public and herself, Victoria can't waste a minute in identifying the disturbed spree killer and uncovering the deep, dark secrets motivating the murders, which prove to be anything but random.
With The Numbers Killer, USA Today bestselling author Jenifer Ruff introduces the first in a series of smart and gripping suspense thrillers with powerful twists that fans of James Patterson John Sandford, Jeffery Deaver, Karin Slaughter, and Lisa Gardner will love.
