“This is an excellent book… When you start reading, be sure you don’t have to wake up early!”
—⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader review for The Killing Game
She walked away from the badge. But justice won't let her go.
After decades chasing cold cases, Detective Meg Thorne has had enough. Burned out and bound by red tape, she retires early—only to realize she can’t walk away from justice. Not when there are still killers out there. And not when she’s finally free to pursue them on her own terms.
When a construction crew uncovers human remains during a renovation, the case links back to a string of unsolved disappearances from 1999—one Meg never forgot. With time running out and a building about to be demolished, Meg is drawn back into the shadows of her past, racing to uncover long-buried truths before the next victim disappears.
But outside the system, Meg has no backup—only her instincts, her relentless drive, and the fear that she may be walking straight into a killer’s trap.
NEXT GIRL is Book #1 in a riveting new crime thriller series by #1 bestselling author Kate Bold, whose breakout hit NOT ME has earned over 3,000 five-star reviews.
Perfect for fans of Lisa Gardner, Kendra Elliot, and Teresa Driscoll, the Meg Thorne series delivers fast-paced suspense, clever twists, and a fiercely determined heroine you’ll root for from page one.
