Killer Instinct When a copycat killer emerges with a twisted obsession with recreating murders linked to Dean's imprisoned father, Cassie and her gifted team of teen profilers are thrust into a terrifying game of cat and mouse they never saw coming. Already haunted by a killer's fixation on her mother's unsolved murder, Cassie thought cold cases would mean safety—but this active investigation pulls her dangerously close to the very darkness she's been trying to escape. As the killer toys with them through brutal mind games, the Naturals must dig deeper into a murderer's twisted psychology than ever before, racing against time to outsmart an enigma who seems always one step ahead. Fast-paced, nail-biting, and absolutely impossible to put down, this psychological thriller will have you second-guessing every clue and racing through pages late into the night.
