At Bay - Paperback

by John W. Mefford (Author)

THE MURDERS ARE UNSPEAKABLE.
The sin unforgivable.
Has the nightmare just begun for FBI Agent Alex Troutt?

Alex was living the American dream. Until her violent crash.

As Alex begins her daunting quest to uncover the black spots on her memory, a dead body is discovered in a murky Boston bay. What she finds doesn't make sense.

The ritualistic slayings begin to stack up -- and Alex is forced to plunge deeper into the investigation. Is she unwittingly falling into a trap? Just as Alex uncovers the killer's twisted motive, she's gutted: her FBI and family worlds collide. And the resulting explosion tears her in two.

Can Alex piece together the jagged fragments to save her family before it's too late?

Packed with crackling suspense, vivid characters, and a twisty plot, AT BAY will leave you breathless and longing for more.

Dear Reader,
If you love a riveting mystery-thriller with a strong female lead, then Alex Troutt is your kind of read. Readers say they love the unique characters, the twisty plots, and the heart-stopping suspense. But they really connect with Alex -- a hard-nosed FBI special agent who juggles her oath of duty with her responsibilities as a mom. This first book is both explosive and gut-wrenching, ... a story of danger and renewal. And the rest of the series only gets better from there. I hope you give Alex a try. I think you might just gain a new book best friend.

Best,
John
