Synopsis

CITY OF PREY (An Ava Gold Mystery—Book 1) is the debut novel in a long-anticipated new series by #1 bestseller and USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose bestseller Once Gone (a free download) has received over 1,000 five star reviews.
In the rough streets of 1920s New York City, 34 year-old Ava Gold, a widower and single mom, claws her way up to become the first female homicide detective in her NYPD precinct. She is as tough as they come, and willing to hold her own in a man’s world.
But when a psychotic serial killer unleashes a rampage, murdering young women across the city, Ava will have to search the dark canals of the twisted killer’s mind if she has any hope of hunting him down. With psychological profiling still in its infancy, and mocked by most, Ava will be even more alone as she follows her instinct, and hunts him down in a dangerous game of cat and mouse.
Just when it seems the stakes couldn’t be higher, Ava comes to an awful realization: she herself may be the next target.
Amidst the speakeasies, jazz clubs, mafia-run prohibition rings, horrific mental asylums and dangerous back alleys of the city, can Ava achieve what all the men cannot: enter the sick mind of a killer, and stop him before more women die?
A heart-pounding suspense thriller filled with shocking twists, the authentic and atmospheric AVA GOLD MYSTERY SERIES is a riveting page-turner, endearing us to a strong and brilliant character that will capture your heart and keep you reading late into the night.
Books #2 and #3 in the series—CITY OF FEAR and CITY OF BONES—are now also available.

The simplicity of the cover still manages to give me a creepy feeling, a sense of forebo......more

Goodreads review by Robert

If only someone gave it additional time. This could have been a good one. Formulaic, this murder mystery follows the template so ingrained by the 25-cent novel mailed to our homes in the Baby Boomer years. The author is not a single person. A conglomerate of writers ghost these novels under a single......more

Goodreads review by Kim

I feel like this book was so poorly written/researched that I probably actually lost brain cells from reading it. How on earth are there so many 4 and 5 star reviews!? Fun fact, in 1928, ECT and lobotomies had not even begun to be used, regardless of the author attempting to paint them as a thing of......more
