FBI Agent Susan Parker

It's a typical farmhouse kitchen. A large table fills the space, and in one of the chairs is the lifeless body of Doctor Magnusson. Under his feet and the dusty wooden floorboards lies the basement – and twelve therapy rooms. Behind each locked door, the victims are about to be rescued… When a world-renowned psychiatrist is found dead in an abandoned ranch house in the Californian Santa Carina Valley, a Post-it note with the words "Susan Parker" and a cell phone number is taped to the basement door. Still grieving her husband's devastating suicide less than a year ago, FBI agent Susan Parker is taking a break from work and trying to rebuild her life as a single mom to her seven-year-old daughter, Natalie. When she's called to the crime scene of Doctor Magnusson, a chill runs down her spine. For years, Susan had been trying to hunt down the doctor, convinced he was the serial killer known as 'Splinter.' Someone is playing a cruel game with her, and they've only just begun. Desperate to speak to the twelve victims rescued from the locked therapy rooms, Susan finds herself faced with a wall of silence. Why won't they talk? Battling her demons while confronting the toughest case she's ever had to solve, Susan discovers a chilling truth about the true nature of Splinter – a killer preying on those seeking therapy. But that's not all she finds… She's about to uncover the shocking secret behind her husband's death – one that links him to the Splinter case. With her family's safety hanging in the balance and her career on the line, can Susan protect her precious daughter and prevent a new killing spree before it's too late? A totally addictive and heart-stopping page-turner that will have fans of Robert Dugoni, Charlie Donlea and Lisa Regan reading late into the night.

She walked through the cabin, across the gleaming hardwood floor, past the beautiful fireplace and luxury kitchen. The view overlooking the lake was breathtaking until she stepped outside and saw the lifeless body in the chair—a silk scarf wrapped tightly around his throat, his gray eyes wide open. FBI Agent Susan Parker's fun afternoon go-karting with her daughter is interrupted when she's called to the crime scene of a wealthy local man murdered in his home. As she delves into his life, she discovers the man belonged to an exclusive yet sinister Murder Club obsessed with the mysterious 'Clothesline killer.' The previous victims were all single mothers being investigated for suspected neglect who bore the same chilling hallmark—each was strangled in her bed at night by a masked figure. But the Murder Club aren't the only ones who have been tracking his every move... A local pizza delivery girl has been closely following the cases and building her own investigative report. Though dismissed as isolated crimes before, Susan unravels a shocking trail of clues from the girl's scrapbook that lead to the forgotten women and orphaned children left in the killer's wake.
