A Wall Street Journal bestselling series.
A serial killer wants to play. FBI Agent Nina Guerrera has no time for games.
Six female undergrads at an elite university vanish. The media descends. The families demand action. And as Special Agent Nina Guerrera follows clue by chilling clue, she realizes she’s tracking the most cunning predator of her career.
The case takes a turn for the worse, and the bizarre, when several victims are found perfectly preserved. No signs of violence, no hint of how they died. Just more evidence that the killer is cruel, calculating, and a master of mind control.
With her mission compromised, Nina must face her greatest failure—and greatest fear—to stop a deadly hunter before he claims another prize.

I love that this woman, Nina, has found a way to love after everything...
Nina and the team are in Phoenix investigating the disappearance of six undergraduates, who have gone missing over the last couple of months. The investigation takes a turn when their perfectly preserved bodies are found and it becomes the hunt for a wily murderer.
I enjoyed The Falcon, which is a plot driven novel with an unusual perpetrator. I have not read the previous two novels in the series, so have no knowledge of the team or their history. I am happy to say that this one works well as a stand-alone with all the salient points explained (it might get repetitive if the reader read all three novels back to back).
The narrative is split between Nina and the unnamed perpetrator. She and her team move the narrative forward with their discoveries and theorising, the perpetrator explains his modus operandi and motivation in amongst the usual self pitying drivel that is fairly standard for this type of novel. Having said that, his M.O. is unusual and interesting, so I like the the thinking behind it.
The plot is the main focus of this novel with a well disguised, clever perpetrator stymying them at every turn. There are a few unexpected diversions along the way, but generally it follows the plan of gradually reducing the pool of suspects and circling in on his area of operation. The one big surprise is identity. The team didn’t guess, so I don’t imagine many readers will.
The characterisation isn’t particularly developed. There are a few brief nods to trauma with Nina being a survivor of a serial predator, but it’s hardly an in depth study. It doesn’t have to be as the characters are mainly there to support the plot.
The Falcon is a good read that I can recommend.
