Now it’s time for him to turn the tables and use every ounce of training to stop the killer from having the last laugh...
Killer Instinct
“He said...he won’t stop. He will kill me.”
The siren was louder. Closer.
Another tear slid down her cheek. “He said he’d been waiting for me...that the waiting was over.”
His body brushed against hers. “He’s not going to ever touch you again.” Josh intended to make sure of that. “You’re safe.”
But she shook her head, and Josh didn’t think she believed him.
The sheriff’s patrol car whipped around the corner. The lights flashed from the top of the car.
Casey’s hold tightened on Josh even more.
“You’re safe,” he said again, but Josh knew that she didn’t believe him.

Josh Duvane broke from the surface of the water, pulling the regulator out of his mouth and then shoving back his mask. “We found her,” he called to the team up on the boat.
He heard someone swear. Probably the local sheriff. Josh knew the guy had been hoping to find the victim alive. No such luck. Josh swam to the boat. The ocean water lapped against him, dark and rough because a storm was coming. If they were lucky, they’d be able to get the victim up before the storm hit.
A big if.
He grabbed for the ladder on the back of the boat and pulled himself up.
“Are you sure it’s Tonya?” Sheriff Hayden Black asked as he reached out a hand to Josh.
Tonya. Tonya Myers. The twenty-two-year-old college coed who’d vanished a week ago. And, yes, unfortunately, he was sure. “It’s her.”
He glanced back at the water. The waves rocked against the boat. As one of the FBI’s elite USERT members—Underwater Search and Evidence Response Team—his job routinely took him to the deepest depths. He searched for clues, he searched for evidence and, on damn unfortunate days—days like today—he searched for the dead.
“That makes three bodies,” Hayden gritted out. The waning light glinted off his blond hair. “Three bodies in the last three weeks.”
And that was why Josh was there. The FBI knew they had a serial hunting in the quiet coastal town, and Josh had been sent to provide backup to the local Bureau team—and to the sheriff.
Josh and Hayden had crossed paths in the past. Once upon a time, they’d trained together as SEALs. They’d worked together on a few missions years ago, then had gone their separate ways. Josh had joined the FBI and Hayden—hell,
