THE KILLING HOUR

It's been several years since a serial killer plagued Georgia and baffled local law enforcement. The notorious Eco-killer operated only during intense heat waves and always abducted two victims at a time. Then the killer stopped. But it appears he's back, striking outside of Georgia in the very heart of the FBI Academy at Quantico, Virginia. When rookie agent Kimberly Quincy decides to take the case personally, turf wars and private rivalries heat up and threaten her career. Anna Fields reads with just the right blend of femininity and toughness, giving rounded personalities to Kimberly Quincy, as well as to supporting characters--Georgia Agent "Mac" McCormack; Kim's somber father, Pierce Quincy (who was featured in three prior Gardner novels); and even the quiet forensic linguist who aids them in their hunt for the killer. A wonderful pulse-pounding thriller from start to finish. S.E.S.
