The Last Girls Taken
He learned from a monster. Now he’s ready to surpass him.
Newly reinstated as an FBI agent, Camille Grisham is thrust into a nightmare she thought was buried for good. A new killer is stalking Colorado—methodical, patient, and eerily precise. His crimes mirror those of Daniel Sykes, the notorious serial murderer Camille helped put behind bars.
But this copycat isn’t guessing.
He knows details that were never made public.
He knows Camille.
Detective Chloe Sullivan sees the pattern tightening fast. The murders are escalating. The staging is growing bolder. And the killer’s confidence suggests something far more disturbing than imitation.
He’s escalating.
To stop him, Camille must do the one thing she swore she would never do—sit across from Daniel Sykes and ask for his help.
Behind reinforced steel and armed guards, Sykes remains exactly what he always was: calculating, observant, and hungry for relevance. And he knows something Camille doesn’t.
The copycat isn’t merely trying to prove himself. He’s trying to finish what Sykes started.
As the body count rises and the threats turn unmistakably personal, Camille realizes the killer’s true objective.
She isn’t just hunting him.
She is his endgame.
Dark, relentless, and charged with psychological tension, The Last Girls Taken raises the stakes of the Grisham & Sullivan series to their most dangerous level yet.
