Part of Quinn & Costa, book 7
First published 2026
Three couples check into a luxury Florida resort for their honeymoons. None of them make it home alive. The FBI Mobile Response Team has two leads: the location and the fact that every female victim looks strikingly similar. That similarity gives Detective Kara Quinn an idea. She and Agent Matt Costa go undercover as newlyweds, playing happy honeymooners while they wait for a killer to move on them. The trap works. They make an arrest. Matt sends the rest of the MRT home, and he and Kara finally get a weekend to themselves. Monday morning, nobody hears from them. Their team checks the hotel. Matt and Kara never checked out. Now the MRT is hunting for two of their own, while Matt and Kara piece together a truth nobody saw coming: the man they arrested had a partner, and that partner just finished what he started. Locked inside a twisted escape room with their lives on the line, Matt and Kara have one job left. Get out.
