Avery Shaw seriesbook 4 of 11Next:The Preditorial Page(2014) →

Then a young mother is killed in what looks like a random shooting on a freeway in southeastern Michigan. The sheriff soon reveals that the same weapon was used in a similar attack nearby, and a joint task force is formed. Tensions rise between Elliot and Sheriff Jake Farrell, who still have not patched things up.

Avery wants the story, but a cagey National Guard commander, a strict new public relations officer, her grandfather's jury duty trouble and her friend's upcoming wedding all compete for her attention. As her reporting draws the shooter's interest, her own safety comes into question.
