If you're attempting to hide from Kate Bowers, you'd better be invisible. Bowers is back in the crosshairs. Inspired by true events, this novel takes you on a thrill-ride with FBI Agent Kate Bowers as her assignment launches her into a manhunt for a notorious killer who has gotten away with murder for far too long. Determined to put an end to his lethal fetishes, Bowers must first deal with friends and fellow detectives who welcome her back and those who don't. The officers in her unit don't realize that her return to their ranks is merely a cover for a deep undercover mission at Metro PD, where something has gone terribly wrong. "I love main character Kate Bowers… She's one for the ages," - Lee Child. "Kate Bowers is a terrific blend of brains, strength of character, and pure guts," - Gary W. Noesner, Chief, FBI Crisis Negotiation Unit (retired) "There are a lot of fine thriller writers, but few are as thrilling as Marta Sprout. She'll keep you eagerly turning pages--if you dare! World-class." - David Farland, Bestselling writer and Hollywood Green Lighter That I write thrillers is no surprise to those who know me. When not writing, I love skiing big mountains, scuba diving, and snorkeling with 40' whale sharks.
I teach at the police academy and have done training scenarios with SWAT. In addition to the pursuit of an accurate and credible story, the bond I have with law enforcement, military, and firefighters comes from a deep respect for those who put themselves in harm's way to protect total strangers. For me, being an advocate for others came as a result of one incident that rocked my world. As a teen, I drove to Hollywood long before sunrise. After becoming hopelessly lost, I parked near a driveway in a gated community to read a map. Arriving home later that night, I spotted that driveway on the news. It was Sharon Tate's home. I'd been there just before the bodies were discovered.
Today, writing thrillers gives us all a safe way to unravel why some are violent, to honor victims and bravery, and to wonder: What you or I would do in the shoes of a hero?
