Publisher's Synopsis
ONE LAST STEP (A Tara Mills Mystery-Book One) is the debut novel in a new FBI mystery series by debut author Sarah Sutton.
Two hikers go missing along the Appalachian Trail, leaving only a bloodstained forest behind them, and when another hiker collapses on someone's porch in New Hampshire, murdered by crossbow, the cops quickly realize they have a serial killer on their hands--one that may know the trails better than anyone. FBI Agent Tara Mills is young, brilliant and new to the force. With a promising career in front of her, she soon finds herself up against the ultimate test when she is assigned the case. Yet, the case soon proves to be more challenging than she ever could've imagined--an impossible riddle that leaves even her seasoned partner stumped. Meanwhile, something about the case stirs a darkness within her--a tortured past--that even her long-term boyfriend doesn't fully know. As nightmares consume her, she only hopes that her past will not ruin her once again. As more hikers go missing, and with her job on the line, Tara finds herself on a race against time as she combs through the forest's trails. Peeling back each layer, she soon realizes that she is up against a true diabolical mastermind. And just when she thinks she has it all figured out, her instincts take her to the most shocking truth of all. Book #2 in the series--ONE LAST BREATH--is also now available for pre-order!
