This bundle offers books four, five, and six in one convenient file, with over 100,000 words of reading. In ABSENT MERCY (Book #4), Amber Young, genius puzzle editor turned FBI special agent, is baffled when a new serial killer taunts the FBI with a word search puzzle. None of the searches seem to make any sense. And unless she can figure it out soon, time is running out to save his next victim’s life. In this page-turning, cat and mouse thriller, it’s a battle of clues, riddles, twists—and genius. In ABSENT REASON (Book #5), there are very few puzzles that Amber Young cannot solve. But when faced with a rare, “impossible puzzle,” Amber may have finally met her match. Failure, though, means another victim’s life. Can Amber discard everything she knows and enter this killer’s mind in time to stop him? In ABSENT SANITY (Book #6), Amber is stumped when a new victim is found tied in an elaborate rope puzzle—a mysterious killer’s signature that makes her certain that, if she doesn’t decode it in time, he will soon strike again…. A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured FBI agent, the Amber Young series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night. Fans of Rachel Caine, Teresa Driscoll and Robert Dugoni are sure to fall in love. Future books in the series are also available!
