How can you outrun a killer you won’t see coming?
“Wow. I think I just fell head over heels in love with a fictional character. Tess Winnett is one of the smartest FBI agents and profilers I have come across yet and with analytical skills to rival Sherlock Holmes. Hats off to Leslie Wolfe for easily the best thriller I have read in this genre for many, many years!” – Manie Kilianon, five stars review on Amazon.
The crimes: bewildering
After a high-profile model is found dead, FBI Special Agent Tess Winnett finds it hard to accept the findings that it was suicide and pushes for an investigation. But as she delves into the case, she uncovers things she never expected to find.
The evidence: disturbing
As the killer embarks on a crime wave of terrifying scale, each new crime scene leads to more questions than answers. With little information and even less evidence, Tess must connect the dots of a deadly scenario with a large number of potential victims.
The contest: ominous
As even the closest held secrets are revealed, Tess is slowly and irrevocably drawn to the only conclusion she can make: she’s not the one in charge; the Taker of Lives controls the game, the players and even the course of her own investigation.
And she knows that if she doesn’t find him soon, another beautiful, young girl will die tonight, and the blood will be on her hands.
The Taker of Lives might be closer than you think. Who’s watching you sleep tonight?
The best-selling author of The Watson Girl is back with another suspenseful, gripping crime thriller. If you’re a fan of David Baldacci, Melinda Leigh, and James Patterson, you will enjoy Leslie Wolfe’s engrossing police procedural that will keep you reading until dawn.

The year is 1802.
A fragile peace has been reached in Europe, but Britain is at war against the Maratha in India. In its Leicestershire barracks, the 110th infantry welcomes a new officer.
Paul van Daan is no typical young subaltern. Ambitious, talented and a charismatic leader of men, he has the means to buy his way up the ladder of promotion. He has an unconventional past, a fierce temper and a passion for justice which bring him into conflict with other officers.
As Paul searches for a way to adjust to the realities of life in the officers’ mess while remaining true to himself, he makes enduring friendships, forged on the battlefields of India and Europe. He also builds an unexpected bond with the unemotional commander of the Peninsular army, Sir Arthur Wellesley.
By the time the 110th joins Wellesley in Portugal, Paul has established a reputation as a respected officer, a courageous fighter and a shameless womaniser. Two women have shared his journey.
Rowena Summers is gentle and shy and brings companionship and stability to his life.
Anne Howard, the daughter of a wealthy manufacturer, bursts into his life like a shooting star, leaving him dazzled. Beautiful, intelligent and courageous, she refuses to conform to the expectations of the men around her, and changes forever everything Paul thought he knew about women.
From the slaughter of Assaye to the bloody battlefields of Portugal and Spain, this is the first book in the Peninsular War Saga which follows Paul van Daan and the 110th through war, loss, triumph and an unforgettable love story.
“For 40 years I’ve been fascinated by this period of history and have read everything I could get my hands on, history, biography, memoirs and fiction. This series is the best fiction I’ve ever read – fantastically well-researched and historically accurate, with wonderfully drawn characters and relationships.” (Amazon UK review)
