The Copycat

book eight of the Bo Austen series

Bo Austen began interning as a forensics analyst at the age of fourteen. Over two decades later, he’s forced to relive his biggest cases through the ruthless killings of a copycat killer. The killer, unspecific in style, method, or victim, jumps between copying the killers Bo has worked in the past.

Bo spends his days without sleep, working a case during the day and taking care of Sergeant Jacob Mason’s children during the evening. Working a case so invasive of his personal life and everything he’s done in the last twenty-one years is a task that proves difficult.

With most of his enemies dead or behind bars, Bo has nowhere to look for clues. In Los Angeles, Detective Jensen Taylor is removed from the homicide case he has been working for the last four months and sent back to Clinstone to keep Bo from completely losing his sanity.

Can Bo balance a case, his family, Jacob’s children, the sergeant’s grief, and his own mental health in order to find the killer? Or will the upper hand be gained by The Copycat?
