The Fifth Victim: FBI Task Force S.W.O.R.D.

In the Pacific Northwest, a twisted killer is on the loose, targeting victims who embody ancient archetypes: The Ruler, The Warrior, The Scholar, and The Priest. Four people have been murdered, and FBI investigators are perplexed by the chilling, color-coded shrines left behind by the killer. Now, evidence suggests that a fifth victim may be next.

With retirement just two weeks away, seasoned FBI Agent Claire Anderson finds herself juggling her work and tumultuous home life. However, she is called in for one final mission: to lead a specialized task force in tracking down the mysterious "Color Killer." This task force is known as the FBI's Special-Washington-Oregon-Regional-Detachment, also nicknamed S.W.O.R.D. Claire must now rally a diverse group of agents with unique talents, including a brilliant criminal psychologist, a savvy undercover expert, a rugged covert-ops specialist, and a quirky tech genius.

As they chase the killer through the rainy streets and dense forests of the Pacific Northwest, the team must uncover an ancient lost religion, its disturbing beliefs about life and death, and the twisted psyche of a cunning psychopath. And when the clues begin to intersect with Claire's own life, she realizes that the predator is always one step ahead. The fifth victim may be someone closer to her than she ever anticipated.

Immerse yourself in the first book of the gripping new FBI Task Force S.W.O.R.D Series by D.D. Black, the renowned author behind the bestselling Thomas Austin Crime Thrillers.
