Renowned FBI profiler Karen Vail returns in Velocity. national
bestselling author Alan Jacobson's most explosive thriller to date.
Detective Robby Hernandez, Vail's boyfriend, has vanished into the
dense air of a Napa Valley evening. There are no clues to his
whereabouts, other than a blood stain and tenuous connections to a
vicious serial killer operating in the wine country.
As the task force struggles with Robby's disappearance, the killer
challenges Vail by boldly leaving his high profile victims in public
places. Is this offender somehow responsible for Robby's disappearance?
Evidence suggests that he is -- but just when Vail and the task force
begin to make progress, the FBI orders Vail to return to Quantico to
handle a case of vital importance.
Back in Washington, Vail engages covert government operative Hector
DeSantos to determine what happened to Robby. It's a move that
backfires when DeSantos's confidential informants lead them into
unforeseen dangers, forcing Vail to face off against powerful foes
unlike any she's ever encountered, threatening her life, her career . .
. all that she holds dear.
In a frantic race against time that takes them from the monuments of
Washington, D.C., to the wealthy beach enclaves of San Diego and the
bright excesses of Las Vegas, shocking truths emerge -- truths that
will forever change Karen Vail.
