Riassunto

Camille Grisham was once a decorated field agent with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. Her job was to solve the country's most complex and violent crimes, often with little more than a textbook profile of the perpetrator to go on. No one did it better. But after her partner's death at the hands of serial killer Daniel Sykes, she has lost faith in everything she once was. Forced to leave the Bureau under the weight of guilt, Camille returns to her childhood home, hopeful that the presence of family and friends can heal the wounds that time could not. Unfortunately, a change in scenery does not bring about a change in fortune. Less than twenty-four hours after her arrival, Camille is left to deal with yet another tragic loss - the brutal murder of her best friend in an apparent home invasion. For local police, the case is open and shut; for Camille, it is anything but. Desperate for answers, she becomes an unwitting participant in an investigation that winds through the darkest corridors of wealth, power, and political corruption. All the while, a killer waits patiently in the shadows, watching Camille's every move. With the help of a young homicide detective whose doubts about her partner's motives increase by the second, Camille races to uncover the true motives behind her friend's murder, even though doing so will put her on an inevitable collision course with a past that she desperately wants to leave behind.

Product Description:

A fresh start in an old city. That was all Camille Grisham wanted. After a deadly series of events forces an abrupt end to her career as an FBI profiler, Camille returns to her hometown of Denver with the hope of starting over. But her hope is tragically short-lived. Less than 24 hours after Camille's arrival home, her best friend Julia is brutally murdered, and the answers are scarce. The police investigation eventually targets a colleague in Julia's law firm, and all signs point to his guilt. Then Camille receives a flash disk - left behind by Julia herself - that implicates someone infinitely more powerful. With the help of a rookie homicide detective, Camille must race to uncover the truth of Julia's life, and the events that led to her death. In doing so she will not only expose a high-level conspiracy involving political and financial corruption, she will also find herself in the midst of yet another deadly confrontation - this time with a killer hell-bent on preserving Julia's secret. 'The Strategist' chronicles Camille Grisham's struggle to find redemption in the face of tragedy and strength in the midst of ever-present danger. She will eventually find both, but not before colliding head-on with a past that she wants nothing more than to leave behind. Book I of the Circle Trilogy Book II 'The Second Circle' will be available Spring 2014
