Author Isabella Maldonado had an extensive career in law enforcement that certainly adds credibility to her stories; she rose through the ranks to retire as a police captain after two decades and also graduated from the rigorous FBI Academy at Quantico. Her main character, FBI special agent Nina Guerrera, was abandoned as an infant and suffered the worst the foster care system had to offer before running away for good at the age of 16. She was subsequently kidnapped, tortured and raped but managed to escape, change her name, and finally become an FBI agent. Her abductor was never found. When she is captured on video defeating two would-be attackers during her morning run, it goes viral and her former nemesis finds her. He decides to use social media to bait and harass her while continuing to carry out a string of murders. She is brought into a team on the Behavioral Analysis Unit along with two profilers and a techy. Eventually she learns that she no longer has to fight her battles alone. Short reviews from Kirkus and Publishers' Weekly.
