An FBI thriller in which a profiler takes on a cult leader whose followers keep vanishing with no blood, no bodies and no evidence. Interrogation games, a suspect who loves to talk and the question of how many killers she is really hunting. He Leads A Cult. She Leads A Task Force. People around Kahin Alshaytan go missing, and everyone asks the same question: where have they gone? He claims his followers come and go as they please, and the local police can't find a shred of evidence. No blood. No signs of a struggle. No bodies. Special Agent Meredeth Connelly builds a profile. Alshaytan offers to cooperate, though she isn't convinced of his altruism. He claims he rules his followers with an iron fist, but his girlfriend smirks behind him. He likes to talk, likes to imply he's responsible for the missing. So who's he protecting? Is she tracking one killer, or two?Paranoid. Delusional. Megalomaniac. Killer?He claims to make sacrifices to the devil. The question is what Connelly will sacrifice to stop him. Sticks and Bones is a Meredeth Connelly Mind Hunt Thriller, a serial-killer FBI procedural, for readers who love cult crime, interrogation duels, profiler heroines and unreliable suspects. Perfect for fans of Tess Gerritsen, John Sandford and Karin Slaughter.
