Five Things I See

Description

A city-wide conspiracy. A serial killer on the loose. A detective battling her own demons. Everything comes together in Five Things I See, the first installment in a brand-new thrilling police procedural series by Wendy Church.

“Violent, dark, and steadily absorbing” Kirkus Reviews on Tunnel Vision

If pain is the price of strength, Grace is one of the strongest people you will ever meet.

Five crime scenes connected by a visible pattern.

A serial killer terrorizes the citizens of Jacksonville, and the entire police force is focused on cracking the case–but will they be able to stop the murderer before more bodies are found?

Three suspects who all tell a different story.

Homicide detective Grace Hartwell’s knack for reading people has never let her down–until now. Is the killer playing a clever game or is she losing touch with herself?

One determined detective with a taste for justice.

Grace’s life is dedicated to her work. But she has a dark secret–a secret that could jeopardize not only her job but her life . . .

For fans of MICHAEL CONNELLY, LISA REGAN, RUTH WARE, and VAL McDERMID, and the Netflix miniseries Unbelievable—Five Things I See is a fast-paced and twisty thriller with a complex female detective lead.
