Fifteen years ago, the Rookie Club began as a tight-knit band of female cops struggling for respect. Jamie Vail was one of them. So was Natasha Devlin, the woman Jamie caught in bed with her husband. When Natasha Devlin turns up dead, Jamie can't bring herself to care. She's got enough on her plate, hunting a sexual predator who preys on female officers. He leaves them alive, but brutalized. But when the MO of the Devlin murder matches the MO of the perp in Jamie's case, she's brought in on the homicide investigation and back into the Rookie Club she has been avoiding since her husband's affair. As additional police officers become victims, Jamie must confront her past and solve the murder of her ex-husband's lover before she becomes the killer's ultimate prize.

The heart-stopping thriller that “has everything—murder, intrigue, scandal, friendship, and a tough-as-nails heroine. Prepare yourself for the roller coaster ride that is Dead Center.”
For San Francisco Sex Crimes Inspector Jamie Vail, no case has ever hit closer to home.
The brutalized women are her colleagues. Her friends. Her job is everything. Divorced and alone, Jamie vows to end the violence and capture this deranged criminal. Nothing else matters.
Within days of the latest attack, a female police officer is murdered and Jamie’s ex-husband is the primary suspect.
She shouldn’t care. She tells herself she doesn’t... until she learns that the details of the murder are eerily similar to the case she is working.
Jamie realizes the killer and her predator may be one and the same.
Now, Jamie must confront her past and solve the murder of her ex-husband's lover to stop a serial rapist. But he has Jamie in his sights and time is running out before she becomes the killer's ultimate prize.
“A thrilling read, packed with suspense that left me breathless to the very last page...”
“This series is addictive. Get ready for a pulse-pounding ride that will have you reading until you can't see straight…”
Fans of Lincoln Rhyme, DD Warren, Will Trent, Tracy Crosswhite and Lucas Davenport will love Jamie Vail.
