The Strategist - Paperback

by John Hardy Bell (Author)

A woman executed in her own home. A case that doesn't add up. A killer hiding in plain sight.

Former FBI agent Camille Grisham returns to Denver hoping for a quiet second act. Instead, she walks straight into a nightmare: her closest friend has been murdered.

The initial assessment points to a crime of passion. But for Chloe Sullivan, the young homicide detective dispatched to the scene, the assessment feels wrong. The details don't align. The suspect profile doesn't fit. And her partner, a hard-nosed veteran with a murky past, seems too eager to close the case.

When Camille receives evidence that differs dramatically from the official narrative, she finds a lone supporter in Chloe. Driven by grief, instinct, and a shared refusal to let the truth be buried, the two form an uneasy alliance aimed at discovering the truth.

They know the killer is still out there.

What they don't know is that he also has his sights set on them.

And he is closer than either of them realizes.

Dark, fast-paced, and packed with relentless twists, The Strategist launches the gripping Grisham & Sullivan Crime Thriller Series-perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Robert Dugoni, and Tess Gerritsen.
