The Devil's Witness : A Tessa Rourke Thriller: The Former FBI Profiler Who Must Hunt a Serial Killer Stopping the Hearts of the Forgiven Before He Asks
Overview
He tucks them into bed with hospital corners. He lays a paper heart-rhythm strip across their eyes. And on the inside of each wrist, in small neat figures, he writes a number.
Kyle Brandt was thirty-four, fit, and certified dead of natural causes. The county closed the file. Then a stubborn medical examiner found twenty-three separate resuscitations scarred into his heart. Someone stopped it, brought him back, and asked him a question. Twenty-three times.
Three months after Mount Hood, former FBI profiler Tessa Rourke has cut her life down to a cabin at the top of a gravel switchback, an old dog who can't climb the steps, and a row of cast-iron pans. She has no badge and no wish to get one back. But Brandt's bedroom tells her what she needs to know. The man who did this is careful. He is kind. He sits with grieving families. And he has done it before.
Nine deaths across three Oregon counties. Every victim was cleared of someone else's death. Every one was forgiven.
The state police call Tessa a private citizen and close the door. Then her profile leaks, a true-crime blogger turns it into a list of names and hometowns, and the killer starts choosing from it. The wrong woman goes to a cell. The one specialist Tessa still trusts stops answering her calls.
And the gentle paramedic who has hunted the forgiven for eight years has a new subject in mind: the profiler who walked out of Hollingsworth Court alive ten years ago. He wants her alive long enough to answer one question.
