What readers are saying about CAIN:

…This book kept my interest with multiple story lines and well defined characters. Laced with humor, the relationship between Stormie and Carlos were enjoyable. I now have a better understanding of the devastation from Hurricane Katrina and the impact on the people in that area…   C.F.- Denver, CO

…Every book by this author has been a show-stopper and this one is no different. The characters were funny, eerie, engaging, creepy, and “hey I know someone like that!”. Possibly my favorite book by him… K.K.-Denver, CO

…Wow! There was no reading this in a hurry. The characters are described in such a way that you can “see” them, and track their actions. I could almost think I know them, and maybe I do!. Good read! Good characterization… S.K – Southern Colorado

…Awesome book, as are all of this authors books. Fast paced, yet not hard to follow. Love the story and can’t wait to see more about Stormie. A real eye opener into some of the aftermath of Katrina… D.K. -Peoria, IL

…Don’t miss this book if you like thrillers! At first this book reminded me of a long ago Patricia Cornwell novel I had read. Or maybe the show Criminal Minds. If you love to hate the bad guy, you will like this one. The details of the crimes were thorough. Believe me I will be watching over my shoulder in dark places making sure I’m not being watched… D. W. –Cookeville, TN

…Love the Stormie Lamonica series! Action packed right from the start. Definitely a page turner. I enjoyed the multiple story lines & how things tied in. Can’t wait for the next installment. My daughter and I read this together, & we both agree: More Stormie Lamonica, please!.. H.W — Denver, CO

1%

How easy is it to abduct a child?

FBI Agents Stormie Lamonica and Carlos Martinelli know all too well. Only 1% of all child abductions are considered random, that 1% hits Colorado again.

While working on the Tuckus case, an at-large serial murderer with a very specific M.O., Stormie and Carlos are caught off guard when Carlos’s niece is taken from her church in the middle of the day and in the midst of thousands of people. Was it happenstance they chose her or intentional to bait the FBI? And does the incident have anything to do with Stormie’s own mother disappearing?

Stormie grapples with the stress of a trifecta of mayhem. A serial abductor, serial murder and missing mom. How much can one agent take without shooting everyone in sight, including some of her incompetent co-workers?

To the world 1% is a trivial number, but to Stormie and Carlos, it is everything.

Released in September of 2022
