A tantalizing new thriller from the author of Sugar & Spice—featuring a ruthless assassin that readers will love to hate.
Having served as an Air Force command post controller with top security clearance, Keith Lee Johnson is just the author to bring authentic, page-turning suspense to mysteries that are sure to satisfy even the most demanding audience. His latest, Pretenses, is the story of the Coco Nimburu—a fascinating, bloodthirsty assassin who will stop at nothing to strike her victims and artfully baffle the authorities.
In the prologue of Pretenses, readers learn that an affluent Supreme Court nominee and her husband have been murdered several days before her confirmation hearing. The next day, another high-ranking member of Washington’s elite is killed—and soon government officials are being picked off one by one. The FBI is clueless. Who is doing the killing? And, more importantly, why? Enter FBI Special Agent Phoenix Perry: a tough, smart, and savvy detective known to hold her own against even the most lethal of criminals. Phoenix is supposed to be working on a serial rapist case, but is hand-picked by the President to find the identity of the assassin. Soon Phoenix finds that the two cases may be related—and that the culprit knows her every move.
Full of chilling detail from a master of suspense, Pretenses is impossible to put down—and even more impossible to forget.
