Publisher's Synopsis
This premium edition is a collection of the four Thomas Prescott books in a single volume. Included here are Unforeseen, Gray Matter, The Afrikaans, and Show Me.
Unforeseen (Thomas Prescott #1)
Retired homicide detective Thomas Prescott is reluctant to read the bestselling book Eight in October, a true-crime thriller based on a string of murders occurring throughout October of the past year. After all, it was his case, and he doesn't need to be reminded of the gruesome details. The book dubbed the serial killer, Tristen Grayer, "the MAINEiac." Grayer is allegedly dead, but only Prescott knows the truth: Grayer is alive and lurking in the shadows. On October 1, the anniversary of the first murder, Tristen resurfaces, killing someone special from Prescott's past. Suddenly, it's deja vu for Prescott, except this time the women closest to him begin to fall victim at the hands of Grayer. With the help of former flame, medical examiner Dr. Caitlin Dodds and Eight in October author Alex Tooms, Prescott must race against the clock to stop Tristen from completing his encore.
Gray Matter (Thomas Prescott #2)
His love life in shambles, Thomas Prescott returns to Seattle, the very place he fled from after his parents' deaths nearly a decade earlier. Just as Thomas is getting settled in, he sees a body floating in the private cove behind his boyhood home. It is a woman. But not just any woman. It is the governor of Washington.
As the suspense ratchets up and the twists unfold, Thomas is thrown into the middle of the biggest murder investigation in Washington state history. Prescott, forced to confront the demons from his past, unearths a new enemy, one that couldn't possibly be human, one that has haunted man since the dawn of time.
The Afrikaans (Thomas Prescott #3)
Intimate in scale, but grandly outfitted, the luxury cruise liner The Afrikaans hosts no more than 208 pampered guests, among them is former FBI contract agent Thomas Prescott. When the ship is overtaken by African pirates who are demanding the United States send medical relief to a small Zulu village in South Africa, it is up to Prescott to keep the 400 hostages alive. As the United States tries to figure out how to combat the terrorists' plot from the outside, Gina Brady, World Health Organization doctor, undertakes the impossible task of rescuing three children from the secluded village. As the deadline draws near, Prescott and Brady must race against the clock to discover the truth: is it medical relief the pirates seek or a two-billion-dollar ransom from one of the richest men in the world? Or could the implications be so profound, and the stakes so high, that a war hangs in the balance?
Show Me (Thomas Prescott #4)
When retired homicide detective Thomas Prescott learns he has inherited a 250-acre farm near the small town of Tarrin, Missouri, he can't get there fast enough. As he slowly acclimates to small town living, he hears rumblings about a horrific crime in the town's past. Four years earlier, a recently fired employee of the local grocery store enacted his revenge, shooting and killing the owner of the store, plus four customers, then turning the gun on himself. The crime appears to have been solved, but Prescott has his doubts.
