The Fear Collectors
Summary
When Samantha "Sam" Reason of the Chicago PD stumbles onto the case of her career, she, at first, is reluctant to share it with consultant and former FBI profile expert and medical examiner Dr. Jessica Coran.
The two strong-willed, personable lady detectives are soon working like a well-oiled machine to uncover the evidence of a ruthless cartel that barters in death - the product being snuff films. The action moves like a train out of control, and the geography of the crime moves from Chicago to Florida and everything in between.
The combination of Sam Reason and Jess Coran makes for a volatile and explosive mix and an audiobook with more twists and turns than found in a snake pit. How dark can a killer's mind get? How deadly?

Lanark is the ultimate equalizer. The death toll on Chicago's elevated trains is climbing.

Chicago's gripped in panic and Lanark's explosive temper is about to blow, pushed by a newsman's threats to print the story of Lanark's horrific past. Lanark and the killer walk the same tightrope: the killer leans one way, the detective the other. One of them must fall.
