Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling authors

When a sadistic human trafficker leads the kidnapping of an Interpol agent, only FBI profiler Sterling Gray can get inside his head…if Gray can stay alive long enough to do it.

The authorities have finally captured Somsak Ritthirong, the most dangerous human trafficker in Southeast Asia. Agent Gray takes the opportunity to interview him, hoping to gain insight into the man who committed so many human atrocities.

When he’s invited to tag along for Ritthirong's extradition to Thailand, Gray doesn’t expect to use any of his new knowledge—until Interpol Liaison Lillie Pratt is taken hostage.

Gray joins forces with a local detective to use his profiling skills to track down the people behind the missing agent, embarking on a wild cat-and-mouse chase across Thailand.

As dangerous forces close in from all directions, will Agent Gray uncover the truth in time to save Lillie Pratt from becoming another victim in Ritthirong’s brutal business?

How far would you go for a friend?

I read an advance reader copy of Kingsnake in June and found it to be an excellent addition to the series. I was recently offered a review copy of the audiobook from the publisher and immediately took them up on the offer. While I really enjoyed reading this book, listening to Michael Gallagher’s expert narration took the story to an elevated level, and cemented my opinion that Kingsnake was an excellent addition to the series by bringing Sterling’s personality more into focus. The following is my original review of Kingsnake.

This latest Sterling Gray story provides a very illuminating insight into Sterling and just how far he is willing to go to achieve his goal. To say I enjoyed this story would be an understatement, I loved it and found the multiple levels of intrigue and action to be totally entertaining. I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher and chose to provide this review.
