    About this audiobook

    By the author of the bestselling The Pardon, this fast-paced novel teams a resourceful FBI agent and an embattled journalist in a hunt for two men -- a serial killer and his elusive informant.

    When an informer chooses Miami Tribune crime reporter Michael Posten as his conduit, giving him information about murders that haven't yet taken place, investigators speculate on whether the killer and informer are the same person. As the newspaper continues to deposit larger sums into the killer's account, FBI agent Victoria Santos and the reluctant journalist join forces to prevent the next gruesome murder. But then dues stop and the murders continue... until a psychopath makes one mistake too many. This gripping, unpredictable story of revenge will not be soon forgotten.

      An Informant calls Mike Posten, a journalist for the Miami Tribune and describes a brutal murder in detail that has resently been committed. When the facts of this event turn out to be true, the informant demands payments for his nolage for the next murder, Mike's newspaper articles are the talk around the country, is the informant and the murderer one in the same? The local police departments and FBI use all their resources too try the identify and stop this individual. The pages kept turning, had a hard time putting it down and a great story line.
    • 5/5
      One of my favorite Grippando books about a reporter who receives tips as to when a serial killer will strike next. Excellent plotting with great charaters make this a wonderful read.
