"I just love every single thing about this series, the characters, and how much it plays with my emotions! I literally cannot get enough and I can't wait for the next in the series!'"— Reader Review How do you catch a killer whose playground spans half the United States? FBI Special Agent Tracey Smith is barely back on his feet when Behavioral Analysis Unit 4 is dropped into the heart of another case. Cases with connections across multiple states. Victims and Law Enforcement alike in the dark. A phantom perp no one can see, let alone find. A community already distrustful of authority. Tracey seeks balance between his career and his heart, not wanting to lose either due to his illicit relationship with Supervisory Special Agent Jon Anderson. Then, a series of devastating personal setbacks bring him to his knees. He needs Jon more than ever, but Jon's deep in the investigation's darkness, where Tracey really can't follow. The rookie agent has never felt so alone. With every fresh body, the Phantom's threat grows, as does Tracey's desperation to catch him. How can they find a killer victims don't fear, forensics can't track, and who has a footprint over half the country wide? The Phantom is book 2 of The Mind Hacker series, and isn't easily understood without reading book 1. The story follows Jon and Tracey, the grumpy-sunshine main characters through hurt-comfort and forbidden romance situations all the way through to their eventual happily-ever-after. Content warning: The Mind Hacker series contains themes of dark violence, including off-page sexual assault, homophobia, religious trauma, family neglect, child abuse related to conversion therapy, addiction themes, psychological manipulation, narcissism, and other disturbing themes. Reader discretion advised. Anti-generative-AI promise: Every word and cover of every book published by this author has been crafted by a human and always will be.
