The Stranger You Know by Andrea Kane

It begins with a chilling phone call to Casey Woods. And ends with another girl dead.  

 

College-age girls with long red hair. Brutally murdered, they're posed like victims in a film noir. Each crime scene is eerily similar to the twisted fantasy of a serial offender now serving thirty years to life—a criminal brought to justice with the help of Forensic Instincts. 

Call. Kill. Repeat. But the similarities are more than one psychopath's desire to outdo another. As more red-haired victims are added to the body count, it becomes clear that each one has been chosen because of a unique connection to Casey—a connection that grows closer and closer to her. 

Now the Forensic Instincts team must race to uncover the identity of a serial killer before his ever-tightening circle of death closes in on Casey as the ultimate target. As the stalker methodically moves in on his prey, his actions make one thing clear: he knows everything about Casey. And Casey realizes that this psychopathic won't stop until he makes sure she's dead.

 

The case that Forensic Instincts has been hired to look into happened fifteen years ago and it connects to a case that has sometime to do with Casey past. A father has stage 4 cancer and he wants to find his daughter before he dies. Patrick brought the case to the attention of the FI.

Casey it's a phone call saying why waste her talent on a cold case when she can find a warm body. That a blood chain has been started and it will end with her death and rape.  FI team does not plan to let that happen. Casey is not going to stop working on the missing girl case because she is being threatened. The FI team will catch this new killer, before he kills again

 

This is the third book in the FI Series, This book keeps you looking over your shoulder the entire time you are reading. I like the cast of characters at Forensic Instincts, I love how they come together even when they are mad at each other. This book is very well written and keeps a nice steady pace throughout the entire story. You will definitely have a hard time putting this book down and you will be sure to lock your doors when you are finished reading. Andrea Kane has written another winner.
