The Lynchpin - Paperback

Special Agent Drew Cady has waved goodbye to Washington, D.C., and ten
years of chasing violent felons in the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Criminal
Investigative Division (CID).
He is on the mend, both physically and emotionally, as he helps run his fiancée's
resort in northern Minnesota while working part-time on the FBI's Medicare
Fraud Strike Force in Minneapolis. Chasing white collar criminals is a far cry
from hunting serial killers and Cady basks in the glow of his newer, more laidback lifestyle, that is, until a young woman's body possessing a most-disturbing
characteristic is pulled from Lake Superior outside of Duluth. And if being ordered
to investigate this case isn't bad enough, Cady's former boss--Assistant Director
of CID Roland Jund--has killed a fellow agent and stands accused of being a spy.
Now Agent Cady must draw upon every last bit of experience he has to clear his
friend's name while at the same time ensuring that no more innocent lives are
extinguished by a sadistic killer with a taste for blood. But nobody is who they
appear to be and information is only as reliable as its source.
