POINTLESS – THE FIRST BOOK IN THE REVENGE, UNHINGED SERIES!

Poison-laced bottles of water are sent to three states in the U.S Southwest. A bottling plant employee is killed in a questionable traffic accident. The first illnesses – and the initial death – surface, and the FBI takes over the cases.

Just as the perps planned.

The agent in charge is assassinated, and Senior Special Agent Kari Dineh, a rising star, is put in charge. She’s encouraged to include a former agent, a felon she helped drive out of the agency years earlier, as an advisor. The case immediately takes on political overtones, spurred by poems sent by the perps, opportunistic pundits rallying pro- and anti-FBI supporters, and aggressive media reporting.

Violence erupts and cities burn.

Dineh, a brilliant investigator, at first struggles with her new role, as memories of misogyny and Indigenous prejudice resurface. But she overcomes them, ultimately figuring out the real intentions of the criminal group behind the crimes.

However, the U.S.’s 50-50 split on the rule of law is above her pay grade.

REVENGE IS A RATIONALIZATION, NOT A MOTIVATION.

A US MARSHAL THRILLER

The Benningtons appear to be the all-American dream family until their daughter, Melissa, witnesses the chilling murder of her closest friends. Forced to flee from the ruthless killers, the entire family enters the federal witness protection program.

Assigned to safeguard the Benningtons in their new life in Billings, Dirk Sterling and his US Marshals team anticipate a routine assignment. However, their task takes a dangerous turn when assassins descend upon the town with one objective: to eliminate Melissa.

As the chaos unfolds, Dirk and his partner Hank find themselves confronting a daunting challenge. In the history of the Witness Protection Program, no witnesses who have followed the rules have ever been found. The question is, who broke the rules that led the killers to Billings. With bullets whizzing, Dirk and Hank must defy the odds to shield the family from a fate that could mark the program's first epic failure.

Welcome to the Newsletter Hello Reader, There is a different look to the newsletter since I moved to Kit as my email service provider. I hope you like it. One thing I do like is the Preferences Update which you will find at the bottom of the page. It works like this: say you subscribe to my thrillers newsletter (this one) but also wish to receive the KJ Cornwall cosies newsletter, then just add it in the update. You will then receive both. Only one hiccough on making the switch, I...
