Deception Mariëtte Whitcomb

We should've stayed in Vietnam.



Five men have vanished from their homes, and not a single piece of evidence has been left behind. The police are stumped - until the most recent victim is found, alive, and he asks to speak to me...

At Captain Taylor's request, I join the investigation but this time I need to stay within the boring restraints of the law. Finley Williams, former vigilante turned consultant criminal profiler. How times have changed. How I have changed.

Tom remains relentless in his pursuit to prove that Aidan is the Marcel Sniper, even going so far as to have him dragged to the police station when somebody takes a shot at Ari. As the months go by and two men are killed by a sniper, I realise the people closest to me are out to destroy the life Aidan and I have created. Either that or Aidan is breaking his promise to never kill again.



If only victim number five hadn't survived...
