Touch of Evil: Books 1-3
(2023)(A book in the Touch of Evil series)
An omnibus of novels by Kennedy Layne
Enter the mind of Brooklyn Sloane, a criminal profiler, whose brilliance hides a chilling secret. Follow along as she battles relentless serial killers, confronts her haunting past, and walks a dangerous tightrope between justice and redemption...
Thirst for Sin (Book One)
Brooklyn Sloane works as a special consultant to the FBI as one of the most adept profilers in the agency’s history. She had been recruited at a relatively young age from her career in academics, but her colleagues have no idea the disturbing motive for her success.
While her current investigation into a cold-blooded serial killer garners the attention of the media, Brook is able to discover the unsub’s first kill. When a tragic shooting takes place involving one of the agents assigned to the case, Brook finds herself unexpectedly out in the field searching for evidence that will eventually lead her to a viable suspect.
As Brook moves closer to her target, her own troubling past is breathing its familiar breath down the back of her neck until she finds herself at a crossroad with the very transgression that shaped her moral fiber. As her past and present collide, which one will rid her of the sin that stains her soul?
Longing for Sin (Book Two)
Brooklyn Sloane has left her job as a consultant for the FBI to take on her first cold case in the private sector. Doing so allows her the freedom to work the one case she’s never professionally been allowed to touch – a ruthless serial killer, who just so happens to be her own brother.
Privately, she’s hunting her only sibling, but alongside her team, she’s seeking justice for those without a voice. But there is always the anomaly…
Seven arrests. Seven trials. Seven closed cases.
Brook has discovered one thread that ties them all together. Soon, as the investigation begins to unravel, the evidence all points to one disturbing truth – the real serial killer has never stopped hunting innocent victims, planting evidence, and causing others to pay for his violent crimes. Unfortunately, he isn’t Brook’s only concern. As she divulges deeper into her brother’s reign of torment, she finds herself falling down a dark rabbit hole where she lands on a web of deceit. Who wins is unknown, for their chilling lies can make for very convincing truths.
Awakening Sin (Book Three)
When a body is found, displayed crudely in the middle of a deserted rural road, the world is captivated by the gruesome murder. Media descends on a small town in the middle of West Virginia, desperate to uncover the one question everyone wants to know: Who killed a mother of two, beloved wife and friend, and pillar of her community?
Former FBI consultant Brooklyn Sloane and her team have spent the first half of the year taking cold cases that were once shelved to collect dust. They have always left the active investigations for law enforcement to solve, but as the case morphs into a media frenzy, a disturbing phone call changes everything.
Drawn into the dark mind of a killer, Brook and her team arrive at the crime scene where the case takes a stunning turn. The one thing they are absolutely certain of is that a serial killer is emerging from the ashes of his victims, and he's finally come out to play.
Genre: Mystery
