Side Effects: A Gripping Serial Killer Thriller (Maggie Allen FBI Thriller Book 1)

Warning: Side effects may include the ability to catch a killer.

FBI Agent Maggie Allen had a gift for catching serial killers. Now, following the death of her husband and son, she can barely get out of bed.

Desperate, Maggie agrees to take part in a drug trial—a last-ditch effort to find something that might help her cope.

The drug helps.

It also carries a number of side effects, not the least of them being a bizarre heightening of her senses—just the kind of thing her old partner could use to track down a killer who is proving impossible to catch.
