They came looking for pleasure. They found only pain.
A serial killer in New York’s South Bronx district is targeting clients of local sex workers. The victims, all male, are either burned alive or beaten to death.
With the body count mounting and no real leads, the FBI decides to put someone in undercover.
Enter rookie agent Shannon Ames. Suited for deep cover work because she is single, without family ties, Shannon is young enough to pass herself off as a working girl. More importantly, she is smart, energetic, and determined – her superiors know she’ll do whatever it takes to crack the case.
But spending her nights on the streets as she hunts for the killer takes its toll. Shannon’s personal life is falling apart, her strong moral core is being tested as never before. She begins to feel as if the case is eating her alive.
And as it becomes clear that she herself is on the killer’s radar, Shannon realizes she’s up against something truly terrifying – a monster who wants to see her forever marked with his sign of evil.
Sign of Evil - book 3 in the critically-acclaimed Shannon Ames FBI series.
What readers are saying about Sign of Evil:
“Yesterday morning, I sat down to read Sign of Evil by T. J. Brearton. Only an hour, I told myself, then I’ll get to work. I should’ve known better. After all, I had devoured Into Darkness (stopping only to sleep and eat) and Road to Mercy (ditto) after similar promises to myself. Sure enough, one hour slipped away . . . then two . . . Once I started reading, I didn’t want to stop.I couldn’t stop.” -Goodreads reviewer
“Very entertaining and well written book with great characters.” -Netgalley reviewer
“T.J Brearton delivers a fast-paced psychological thriller with “Sign of Evil”. This page turner will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.” -Booksprout reviewer
“The story is fast paced and addictive and it brilliantly picks up pace as the hunt for the killer intensifies near the end. The writing is really edgy giving a dark and gritty feel to the story which are the best elements of any crime thriller.” -Atomic Books
“…an eventful novel with a well-hidden perpetrator. It held my attention throughout... It’s safe to say that there is rarely a dull moment and culminates in the heart stopping final action scenes.” -Netgalley reviewer
“…well written and has the feel of a true crime recital. It also humanizes the protagonists and does not turn them into superheroes. Well done.” -Goodreads reviewer
“I really like this series. There is something about the main character that just stands out. She is fierce and talented.” -Bitch Can Write a Book
“…this one took me on a journey I wasn’t expecting and fully enjoyed. Along with the action in this story, I found myself believing I knew who the killer was and their motive, of course someday I’ll learn not to make these assumptions when TJ Brearton is the author. Misdirection and unexpected twists are a hallmark of his work.” -Bookbub reviewer
“Sign of Evil is an exciting, thrilling crime read. It is a dark, twisty chilling read ... not to be read alone!” -Booksprout reviewer
