Shattered Hearts Club
The most dangerous people in the world have nothing left to lose. Except each other.
Across the Pacific Northwest, someone is executing the people who are supposed to deliver justice. Judges. Prosecutors. Law enforcement officers. Each victim handpicked, each killing precise and personal. And at every scene, the same chilling signature left behind like a message to anyone paying attention: two overlapping hearts, finger-drawn in the victim's blood. One heart complete. One heart destroyed.
The FBI's Special Washington Oregon Regional Detachment has seen dark cases before. But nothing like this. The evidence points not to a lone predator but to two people working in perfect, terrifying synchrony.
A couple. Methodical. Merciless. And apparently just getting started.
As S.W.O.R.D. closes in, the kills escalate and the targets start looking less random. The killers are sending a message directly to the people hunting them.
And team leader Claire Anderson is already fighting on two fronts. Because buried in the files from her last case was a secret that could unravel everything she believes about herself. Her choices, her career, the people she trusts most. Some truths, once seen, cannot be unseen.
