Deadly Sins

Review Brant's careful research leads to believable twists and turns in her sixth Mindhunters romantic FBI procedural. When a Supreme Court justice is gunned down, his widow asks former FBI agent Adam Raiker, owner of Raiker Forensics, to serve on the special investigative task force with Jaid Marlow, whom Adam was involved with eight years earlier. A note from the killer links the judge's murder to another unsolved case, but as Adam and Jaid connect the dots, the killer takes aim at Adam. The well-paced thriller reveals multiple victims and minor conspirators but cleverly conceals the mastermind's identity, and Adam and Jaid slowly move past regrets and mistrust to rebuild their relationship. Abundant subplots and characters from earlier volumes sometimes confuse the reader, but Brant does a credible job of tying all the loose ends together.--Publisher's Weekly "...a true suspense novel...that combines the movie Seven with Washington, DC politics and hits blend."--Romance Books Forum "Overall, this was a compelling thriller that kept me reading far into the night."--Fresh Fiction reviews "Brant has done it again. В Fans of The Mindhunters series will be supremely pleased with the latest addition to this series, as Raiker Forensics' team creator and leader moves to the forefront. В Adam is...well balanced with Jaid. В She's smart, strong, and more than capable of handling a man like Adam."--Romantic Times magazine Product Description An unknown assassin has appointed himself judge, jury, and executioner, brutally taking out high-level human targets citywide. It's just the kind of case that will test the resolve of a tough FBI agent like Jaid Marlowe. Especially when her new partner is Adam Raiker, Jaid's former colleague-and ex-lover.
