I See You (Criminal Profiler Book Two)
From New York Times bestselling author Mary Burton comes a gritty, suspenseful story in the Criminal Profiler series.
FBI
special agent Zoe Spencer uses skeletal remains to recreate the faces
of murder victims through sculpture. Though highly scientific, the
process is also sensitive and intimate; she becomes attached to the
individuals she identifies, desperate to find justice for each.
As
Zoe examines old remains, she sees a teenage girl looking back at
her—the victim in a cold case from over a decade ago. Zoe wants nothing
more than to tell this young woman’s story and to bring her killer to
justice.
Zoe’s case leads her to the victim’s hometown and to
homicide detective William Vaughan, Zoe’s on-again, off-again lover. As
the two become more involved in the case, they quickly realize that it
isn’t as cold as they first believed: someone’s still out there hunting
women. And with more women gone missing, time’s running out. Can they
work together and stop this madman before he kills again?
MY REVIEW: Author Mary Burton continues her thrilling "Criminal Profiler Series" with Book #2, "I See You". A tip to an investigative journalist leads to the discovery of skeletal remains from an almost twenty-year old crime. Forensic artist and FBI Special Agent Zoe Spencer uses her skills and intuition to recreate the image of the victim through an eerily life-like sculpture. When Zoe's boss recognizes the face as that of a young college student who had vanished without a trace all those years ago, a tumultuous chain of events will follow. Zoe is reconnected with Detective William Vaughan, whom she had first met when he was a student at one of her training seminars. A mutual attraction had led to a casual involvement. When more violence against women occurs, and the old case is linked with the new crimes, Zoe and William must work together to stop a killer. The more time they spend together, the more their appreciation and awareness of each other grows--could it lead to more than a brief affair? Author Mary Burton has a way of drawing readers into her stories that keeps the pages turning, and when one story ends, you can't wait for the next one to begin. "I See You" is highly recommended for lovers of romantic suspense and top-notch police procedural thrillers.

Hide and Seek (Criminal Profiler Book One)
She’s hunting. He’s watching.
Special Agent Macy Crow is a survivor. After a vicious hit-and-run nearly kills her, she gets right back to work, and now she’s gunning for a spot on the FBI’s elite profiling team. As an audition, she offers to investigate the recently discovered bones of Tobi Turner, a high school girl who disappeared fifteen years ago.
While investigating with local sheriff Mike Nevada, a former colleague and onetime lover, Macy discovers a link between Tobi’s case and several others that occurred around the same time as her disappearance. As Macy interviews victims and examines old cases, she uncovers a sinister picture of a stalker who graduated to sexual assault—and then murder.
Macy and Nevada race to put this monster behind bars before he can come out of hiding. But the murderer’s had years to hone his skills, and soon Macy herself becomes a target. She’s no stranger to pain and terror, but will Macy’s first profiling case be her last?
“In this gripping sequel to Cut and Run…Burton delivers an irresistible, tension-filled plot with plenty of twists. The characters resonate with an intimate, small-town feel, and the tender romance between Macy and Mike complements the plot nicely. Lovers of romantic thrillers won’t be disappointed.” —Publishers Weekly

Cut and Run
Twin sisters separated by the past are reunited by unspeakable crimes in New York Times bestselling author Mary Burton’s throat-clutching novel of suspense…
Trauma victims are not new to medical examiner Faith McIntyre, but this one is different. The unconscious woman clinging to life after a hit and run is FBI agent Macy Crow. What the woman from Quantico was doing in a dark alley after midnight is just one mystery. The other is more unsettling: Macy is Faith’s mirror image—the twin sister she never knew she had.
Faith knew that she was adopted, but now she’s finding that her childhood concealed other secrets. Following the trail of clues Macy left behind, Faith and Texas Ranger Mitchell Hayden make a shocking discovery on an isolated country ranch—a burial ground for three women who disappeared thirty years before.
They weren’t the only victims in a killer’s twisted plot. And they won’t be the last.
As the missing pieces of Faith’s and Macy’s dark lives snap into place, Faith is becoming more terrified by what she sees—and by what she must do to save her sister and herself from the past.

“Must-read romantic suspense…Burton is a bona-fide suspense superstar. And her books may be peppered with enough twists and turns to give you whiplash, but the simmering romance she builds makes for such a compelling, well-rounded story.” —USA Today’s Happy Ever After
