A Costa Rican detective with a painful past teams up with a rookie FBI Profiler to hunt a serial killer targeting American tourists. As a child, Elijah Shaw hid in a dark closet while a serial killer — whose identity remains a mystery — murdered his mother. Although still haunted by his past, he now is part of an elite unit handling major crimes and high-profile killings in Costa Rica. When Shaw notices an unusual pattern in homicides — all American tourists, brutally and ritualistically killed — he reaches out to Alexandra Needham, a forensic psychologist and FBI Profiler, to hunt for an elusive serial killer testing their limits. Gringo Gulch is an international crime thriller filled with realistic, complex characters with heart-pounding suspense that will keep you hooked until the last page. It’s the first book in a new gripping crime thriller series, perfect for fans of Mike Omer, Mary Stone, L.T. Vargus, John Sandford, and gritty serial killer thrillers.
