He had it planned out to perfection. She was weak and pathetic, past the point of fighting for her life. She must know she couldn't win, and soon it would all be over...on the count of three.

A woman is reported missing in Miami, Florida, and Detective Kelly Marsh starts the investigation into her disappearance. But Marsh soon recognizes notable similarities between this woman's history and that of two victims, brutally murdered, their cases still unsolved. Marsh's gut tells her the killer may be back, and she'll need assistance from the FBI to take down this monster. Special Agent Brandon Fisher and his team with the Behavioral Analysis Unit jet south to coordinate their efforts with the local detective.

With evidence mounting that the missing woman's fate is looking much the same as the other victims, Brandon and the others must work at their highest level of efficiency and cunning if they're going to stand a chance of saving her. After all, as they quickly come to realize, they're hunting a killer with an insatiable appetite for blood. And if the FBI team isn't careful, one of them may not make it out of Miami alive.

Drinking and driving may be deadly in more ways than one... "Taut, tense, crackling with psychological suspense and bursting with authentic detail, On the Count of Three is a tremendous thriller. Fans of Criminal Minds will love it and be left hungry for more." -Andrew Grant, author of False Witness FBI Special Agent Brandon Fisher and his team join forces with Miami PD Detective Kelly Marsh to find a missing woman Kelly believes was taken by a serial killer. From their first meeting, Brandon sees the detective as competition, and this isn't helped by the personal history she shares with his boss. Brandon sees the similarities between Detective Marsh's missing person case and the two cold cases: all three victims served time for vehicular homicide while driving under the influence and disappeared three days after being released from prison-but is that enough to assume the woman has been abducted by a serial killer? Brandon's not so sure and fears his boss may have let his personal connection to Marsh cloud his judgment. Surely there isn't any other explanation for why they jumped into an investigation less than twenty-four hours after the missing persons report was filed. Then again, maybe Brandon is letting his own differences with the detective affect his perspective. If he can't pull himself together, the missing woman may pay with her life-and one of the team may not make it out of Miami alive.
