Kill Fee - Owen Laukkanen
Kirk Stevens of Minnesota's BCA and Carla Windermere of the FBI had figured they’d just share a cuppa and catch up on each other’s cases, but their coffee break went out the window when the two watched in horror as a sniper murdered a white-haired old man before their very eyes. Bad luck for the killer, though – Windermere got a good look at the blank-eyed young man and his getaway ride. The trail seemed to die there, though – the man who suposedly rented the little blue car in Minneapolis looked nothing like the killer and he swore he’d been driving a red SUV. So much for police work…
When the dead man’s cousin turned up dead a few days later in Duluth, Stevens caught the case – and that’s where he first ran across the cryptic word “Killswitch.” Stevens being a pretty bright guy figured out he was on the trail of a contract killer. That brought the Feds – and therefore Windermere – into the game. Yay.
