About this listen
From number one bestselling mystery author Blake Pierce comes a new masterpiece of psychological suspense.
In A Trace of Crime, Keri Locke, missing persons detective in the homicide division of the LAPD, follows a fresh lead for her abducted daughter. She winds her way through a twisted underworld, and step-by-step, she gets closer to finding her daughter.
Yet she has no time. Keri is assigned a new case: a dad calls from an affluent community and reports that his teen daughter vanished on the way home from school.
Shortly after, ransom letters arrive. Twisted, filled with riddles, they make it clear that there is little time to save the girl. They also make it clear that this is the work of a diabolical killer who is toying with them.
Keri and the police must scramble to find the kidnapper, to understand his demands, to decode the letters, and most of all, to outwit him. But in this master game of chess, Keri may find herself up against a foe even she cannot understand, and for the missing girl - and her own daughter - she may just be too late.
A dark psychological thriller with heart-pounding suspense, A Trace of Crime is book number four in a riveting new series - and a beloved new character - that will leave you turning pages late into the night.
Book number five in the Keri Locke series is also now available!

In ONCE GONE, women are turning up dead in the rural outskirts of Virginia, killed in grotesque ways, and when the FBI is called in, they are stumped. A serial killer is out there, his frequency increasing, and they know there is only one agent good enough to crack this case: Special Agent Riley Paige. Riley is on paid leave herself, recovering from her encounter with her last serial killer, and, fragile as she is, the FBI is reluctant to tap her brilliant mind. Yet Riley, needing to battle her own demons, comes on board, and her hunt leads her through the disturbing subculture of doll collectors, into the homes of broken families, and into the darkest canals of the killer’s mind. As Riley peels back the layers, she realizes she is up against a killer more twisted than she could have imagined.

Reports to write, forms to fill, coffee to drink, leads to run down. Gus’s life was a tedium and boredom he’d grown comfortable with. One that he sought out after he’d come back from his tour of duty. A detective in the paranormal investigations department. A job he could work day in and day out in relative peace. One cold and forgotten cup of coffee at a time. It was an environment that made some sense to him. At least in comparison to civilian life where almost nothing did. On top of that, it gave him a chance to hide what he was from the rest of the world.

Women Detectives
Just love women detectives. I just think the story is so much more intimate in way of feeling for the victims and just the case all around. Not saying men don't care about the victims just they don't show emotions and all as women do. which in all in all makes for a better drama back ground. I posted a review on the last 3 books in the series and did not care for the narrators reading, voice, change of characters and such. This book 4 has a new narrator. She is much better then the other reader. Yet still have that same voice for each character. I don't know but on to book 5 to complete the series I think. Hope the narrator is better on the last of the book series making the series go out with a bang. Hehe inside joke. Totally recommend to everyone.

Have become a Keri Locke fan.
Enjoyed the story. It is challenging to listen to a heavy accent narrator when the story is set in Los Angeles, California. Need to have someone that could possibly hide their accent. Otherwise on to the book 5 in the series.
