Next Girl (A Meg Thorne Suspense Thriller Book One) by Author Kate Bold

Description

Detective Meg Thorne, haunted by the years of cold cases she could not solve, retires early, in her 50s, feeling stifled by the limits of the law and determined to do whatever she has to to solve them on her own, stop these killers, and rescue any victims. Outside of the red tape, she will be free to cross all lines, and do whatever must be done—as long as she doesn’t find herself, alone, in a killer’s sights…

From the shadows of yesterday’s mistakes to today’s urgency, Meg races against the bulldozers threatening to erase the final hopes for justice—and to save the next victim before it’s too late…
