about the book
8 bodies down.
8 more lives at stake.
Investigator Carrie Kintz is new blood with the Alaska Bureau of Investigation in Anchorage. But with a serial killer on the loose, there’s no easing into the job. It’s sink or swim. The only clues to help law enforcement stop this madman are the taunts he drops into crossword puzzles across the country–always in the same 8 DOWN position.
Carrie is desperate to prove her worth to the force and the community by catching the killer. But when she discovers signs that these deaths are just the tip of the iceberg in a frighteningly elaborate cyberattack, it’s time to admit she needs help.
Calling in security specialist Scott Patteson for his expertise seems like the right move–until Carrie realizes that he may be a dangerous distraction for her heart. With her faith fading in the face of horror and uncertainty and her career in danger of ending, this is no time for flirtation.
But with a killer who is determined to prove that he’s smarter than everyone else, it may be impossible to fight both the madman and their feelings for each other…

excerpt
“Hey, Jase—it’s me, Scott, again.” It hadn’t been more than forty-five minutes since they spoke. Scott was doing his best to push that conversation to the back of his mind. His personal life wasn’t relevant right now. There were other lives on the line.
“Hey, look, I know this isn’t easy—”
“A man was killed this morning.” Scott threw the words out. Easier to change the subject and get to business. “I need you to fill me in on a few details about the cyberattack up there a few months ago. Didn’t someone try to kill you and Darcie by hacking traffic lights?”
“Yep. I can still feel the bruises. Had to have surgery on my shoulder twice.” Jason’s voice changed and met the gravity of the situation. “Whatcha need to know?”
