Ava Cortes CBI Thrillers
Special Agent Ava Cortes knows about monsters. She hunts like one. Methodical, ruthless, and unrelenting.
Nestled in the picturesque California mountains, the community of Black Oak cowers in terror as a killer picks them off one by one. He’s undetectable, untraceable, and so far, unstoppable. But Special Agent Ava Cortes knows about monsters. She hunts like they do. Methodical, ruthless, unrelenting. As she closes in on her prey, an early storm hits, trapping residents and tourists on the frigid mountain. Stranded and running out of time, Ava fights to track him among those seeking shelter, but the people of Black Oak have a secret. One some are willing to kill to keep hidden. To catch the killer, Ava must survive the storm long enough to rip open the town’s ugly underbelly and expose the deep dark lies.
Book two in the Ava Cortes CBI Thrillers takes place on the shores of one of California's most famous beaches...
