Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling authors

As a brutal serial killer terrorizes a migrant camp on the Polish border, an FBI profiler must get inside his twisted mind before another little girl is killed....

On the border between Poland and Belarus, thousands of migrants are struggling for survival. But illness and unsanitary conditions aren’t the worst of it.

The first girl’s death is too brutal to be an accident. The second sends a wave of panic through the camp.

When the third body is discovered, there’s no escaping the horrifying truth: A serial killer is on the loose inside the camp, and the local authorities are powerless to stop him.

FBI profiler Sterling Gray is an expert at reading troubled minds. On loan to Interpol, he is called in on behalf of the Polish government to assist in identifying the killer. Gray goes undercover as a member of the Doctors Without Borders program, using his time inside the camp to profile the killer, but quickly finds other dangers lurking around every corner....

Gray’s profile of the killer leads to a swift arrest, but something doesn’t feel right. And when a new shocking truth emerges, Gray must risk everything to return to the camps...or another little girl will die.

The clock is ticking. The hunt is on for the Butcher of Belarus.

This series just gets better with each new book!

I read an advance reader copy of The Butcher of Belarus in July. I was recently offered a review copy of the audiobook from the publisher and immediately took them up on the offer This third book in the Sterling Gray FBI Profiler series takes on a much darker and grittier tone than its predecessors. While I thought the first two books were excellent, I’m not sure what would be above excellent, but The Butcher of Belarus would certainly fit that category. Once again Michael Gallagher’s expert narration brought this story and each of the characters to life. The following is my original review for The Butcher of Belarus.

To be honest, after reading King Snake I wasn’t sure how the Sterling Gray stories might ever be any darker or grittier, but Brian Shea and Ty Hutchinson have outdone themselves in creating one of the darkest thrillers I’ve read in a long time. The story is built around events that could very well be current news, which makes it a story you cannot put down. I can honestly say this is my favorite of the series – so far – who knows what they have in store for their next episode. I would highly suggest grabbing a copy of The Butcher of Belarus and settling in for a disturbing read. I received an Advance Reader Copy of this book from the publisher and chose to provide this review.
