Danger is all around her...
What should have been a routine investigation for FBI profiler Evelyn Baine turns ominous when she’s kidnapped by a dangerous cult of survivalists. As her worst nightmares become a reality, she begins to question what she’s seeing. Because the longer she’s inside their compound, the more she realizes this group is not what it seems to be.
The next terrorist threat is right beside her...
As the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team closes in, Evelyn suspects she’s stumbled onto an emerging terrorist threat—and a cult leader who has a score to settle with the FBI. If Hostage Rescue breaches the compound, Evelyn’s dead for sure. If they don’t, the cult may unleash a surprise attack that could leave the whole country shattered.
Praise for the novels of Elizabeth Heiter
“Elizabeth Heiter does her research, and it shows in this superb FBI thriller. With a ripped-from-the-headlines plot and excellent characterization, Seized is a true winner. Don’t miss it.”
—J.T. Ellison, New York Times bestselling author of What Lies Behind
“Gripping from the first page, Vanished will keep you on the edge of your seat all the way to its searing conclusion. Heiter has given us a roller coaster of a thriller, sure, but this novel is also a rich and harrowing story of the psychology of evil and those who strive to stop it, insights that will stay with you long after you’ve finished the book. And what a heroine we have in Evelyn Baine!”
—New York Times bestselling author Jeffery Deaver
“A handsomely crafted mixture of police procedural and thriller, Vanished is a book whose events will haunt you well after you finish.”
—Mystery Scene Magazine
“Elizabeth Heiter rises to the top of [a crowded field] featuring serial killers with her sterling Vanished…
A splendid and scary read.”
—Providence Journal
“Hunted is a nonstop, thrilling read that will leave you breathless, and Evelyn Baine is a sharp and gutsy heroine you’ll want to follow for many books to come.”
—Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of the Rizzoli & Isles series
“Hunted is a terrific, gripping, page-turning debut by a talented new voice in suspense. A great read.”
—Allison Brennan, New York Times bestselling author
“Elizabeth Heiter has written a thriller that grabs readers from the first page...Hunted is a fast read because the pages fly by as the narrative gets more and more exciting and suspenseful.”
—Book Reporter
Seized (The Profiler, Book 3)
Elizabeth Heiter
This book is for my uncle Tom Dunikowski and
my aunt Andy Hammond. Thank you for
your belief in me, your support no matter what,
and for always being there when I need you.
Welcome to the world of The Profiler! If you’ve already read the first two books in the series, thank you for returning as Evelyn Baine tackles what looks like a routine investigation—until it lands her on the wrong side of a hostage situation and in the middle of an emerging terrorist threat. If this is your first visit to the series, Evelyn’s story began in Hunted, where she tracked down a deadly serial killer known as the Bakersville Burier and learned just how deadly it can be to get inside the head of a killer. In the sequel, Vanished, Evelyn tackled the case she’d waited most of her life to investigate—the disappearance of her best friend—when the Nursery Rhyme Killer resurfaced after eighteen years of silence.
Seized marks the return of Evelyn and fellow agent Kyle McKenzie as a case takes them to the remote Montana wilderness. Writing this story meant delving into new research, including cults and brainwashing techniques, survivalists, homegrown terrorism and how to profile a person’s next move by his or her past actions. I hope you enjoy the result!
After Seized, Evelyn will be back for a brand-new adventure, and I hope you’ll continue to come along for the ride. You can keep up with me and the books (as well as get extras and join my newsletter) on my website at elizabethheiter.com. You can also find me on Facebook at facebook.com/elizabeth.heiter.author and Twitter as @ElizabethHeiter. I love to hear from readers.
As always, my heartfelt thanks for reading!
