What to expect

What happens when two serial killers begin to compete with each other?

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Meg Gardiner comes a new high-octane thriller in the acclaimed UNSUB series.

FBI Special Agent Caitlin Hendrix faces a case from nightmares.

In a Tennessee prison, Efrem Judah Goode draws haunting portraits of women he claims he has killed. Around the country, desperate families of the missing seek answers in his eerie drawings. And on darkened back roads and New York City streets, a new killer poses duct-taped bodies at the sites of Goode’s murders.

Two serial killers are locked in a twisted rivalry. To stop the brutal slayings, FBI profiler Caitlin Hendrix must unravel the connection between Goode and the Broken Heart Killer. Their warped competition destroys anyone in their path. Caught between a manipulative psychopath and a ruthless UNSUB, Caitlin has to dive into not one, but two dark and twisted minds. She will risk everything, plunging into the depths of their depraved clash to hunt down an unstoppable killer.

Janet Evanovich, #1 New York Times bestselling author, on the UNSUB series

Stephen King

Don Winslow on The Dark Corners of the Night

“Meg Gardiner is an astonishing writer…I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.”

Tess Gerritsen

“Gardiner makes every one of her characters leap alive off the page.”

Jeffery Deaver

“Hillary Huber gives a top-shelf performance of this audiobook…Huber’s character voices are excellent…distinct enough that listeners can identify each character. There are many threads to this story, and Huber’s fine work helps bring them together.”

AudioFile

“What makes the UNSUB novels work so well is the way Gardiner…has designed her protagonist…As always, the writing is exquisite and the story is perfectly crafted.”

Booklist

“This novel is fantastic…gripping, clever, and heartfelt.”

Jeff Abbott, New York Times bestselling author

“Gardiner writes her twists and play on words perfectly, allowing readers to try to put pieces together that make for a suspenseful plot.”

Military Press

“Like the proverbial phoenix…the indomitable Gardiner rose out of the ashes to reach new heights.”

CrimeReads

Shadowheart is dark, devious, and disturbing on the deepest levels…Gardiner charts her own territory with masterful precision, having crafted an intricate plot complete with a dastardly villain who has the cunning of Hannibal Lecter, but without the hypnotic charisma.”
