Look Behind You

by Iris Johansen

First published 2017

Kendra Michaels receives a call about bodies turning up across San Diego. Each crime scene contains strange objects that make no sense. A toy car here, a broken watch there. The FBI needs her unique skills to decode the pattern. Kendra lost her sight as a child and gained it back through surgery at twenty. Now she notices details others miss. The random objects turn out to be trophies from unsolved serial cases nationwide. One killer committed murders across the country and kept secrets from each case. Now he targets Kendra directly, using details never released to the public. The FBI assembles a team of profilers to help track him down. The killer escalates his timeline and starts hunting the investigators. Kendra realizes this psychopath has spent years planning his final game. She must use every skill she possesses to stop him before he kills again. The case becomes personal when Kendra understands she was always his intended target.
