The Maze

Dillon Savich, the FBI agent who first appeared in The Cove, now leads the Criminal Apprehension Unit. There he builds predictive analogue programs meant to help catch serial killers. Joining his team is Lacey Sherlock, a newly hired agent whose eagerness and polished record make her look like a model recruit. Yet her trustworthiness is open to question.

When a brutal killing takes place in Boston, Sherlock rushes to the scene and misleads Dillon about why she is there. Once he uncovers the truth, he sees that the whole team could be drawn into danger, possibly becoming targets themselves, unless he and Sherlock solve the murder of her sister, which took place seven years earlier.

The story asks whether readers are prepared to face what waits at the center of the maze, with mysteries and puzzles to work through before its tense conclusion. It moves between the present day and the events of seven years ago as its twisting plot unfolds.
