Cross Paths Linda McKown

This book is not about the average, normal run-in that a person encounters in the world. One woman's name is labeled and put in a police file. They don't know her real name but know this psychopath's molecular machinery is hardwired differently. They call her "Snake woman." Derek Wright, the Los Angeles investigator, will cross paths, following her in a difficult labyrinth. He is obsessed about catching the thief and murderer before she can inflict more damage. The book is about surprises as she leads Derek through a different kind of pain. The circles of fate surround the players, enveloping them in the crosswinds. A heavy jolt spins her world when a small band of terrorists make their move. Her cunning, planning, and quest for gold and riches are temporarily put on hold. The dangerous snake watches and manipulates her arena. Like pawns in a chess game, her hot, boiling rage knocks the terrorists out of the game. The police can't stop the constant flux of criminals in the ever-changing game of theft and deception. Only the lucky will survive the final round.
