IF SHE KNEW (A Kate Wise Mystery—Book 1) kicks off a gripping new psychological thriller series from bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose Once Gone has earned over 1,000 five-star reviews.
At 55, Kate Wise is newly retired from the FBI and adjusting to life as an empty nester in the suburbs. But when her close friend’s daughter is murdered during a supposed home invasion, Kate is pulled back into a world she thought she’d left behind.
Respected for her razor-sharp instincts and unrelenting pursuit of justice, Kate can’t ignore the call to help. But as more bodies turn up—suburban mothers in seemingly perfect marriages—it becomes clear there’s a serial killer hiding behind the white-picket fences of this quiet town.
Kate digs into the secrets behind the manicured lawns and friendly smiles, uncovering affairs, lies, and betrayals. What once looked like the perfect neighborhood quickly reveals a dark undercurrent. And someone is watching her—someone who knows she’s getting too close.
Now Kate must rely on every ounce of her experience to outsmart a killer who’s always one step ahead… before she becomes the next target.
IF SHE KNEW is a fast-paced, page-turning thriller with a smart, fearless heroine who proves it’s never too late to take down evil. Perfect for fans of Lisa Regan, Melinda Leigh, and Robert Dugoni.
Book #2 in the Kate Wise Mystery series is also available!
