FBI Special Agent Daniel Walker, 40, is known for his uncanny skill in tracking killers, his streetwise instincts, and his refusal to follow rules. Pulled from the Behavioral Analysis Unit and assigned to the FBI’s new Antiquities Unit—a division tasked with recovering priceless relics—he’s suddenly thrust into a case unlike any he’s faced before.
Remi Laurent, 34, a brilliant Georgetown history professor and the world’s foremost expert in obscure historical artifacts, is stunned when the FBI enlists her help to track down a murderer. Reluctantly paired with the brash and unpredictable Walker, she soon discovers that their skills—his psychological insight into killers and her unparalleled historical expertise—may be the only hope of deciphering the killer’s cryptic clues before he strikes again.
A pulse-pounding crime thriller blending history, mystery, and relentless suspense, the **Remi Laurent** series delivers shocking twists, a compelling partnership, and a relentless race against time that will keep you turning pages late into the night.
Books #2–#6—*The Murder Code, The Malice Code, The Vengeance Code, The Deception Code,* and *The Seduction Code*—are also available.
