He’ll take who you love.
From Emmy Award–winning journalist Linda Hurtado Bond comes a ferocious, terrifying game where your own eyes can deceive you…and a killer will watch every move you make.
Tampa Bay crime reporter Mari Alvarez thought the worst was behind her. She thought she could return to work, her sister, her friends, and her still-undefined relationship with Detective Tony Garcia. To find something almost normal…until a killer everyone thought was dead contacts her.
Because he wants to play a game—a twisted dance of revenge, where Mari must play by the rules…or lose everyone and everything she loves.
Now Tampa Bay’s lively Gasparilla pirate festival has turned into an event filled with terror and horror, and Mari is the unwitting star. Every move she makes is being watched by social media, even as the killer twists the truth and manipulates her with lies, deepfakes, and misinformation.
He can take her job. He can take her reputation. He can take everyone who loves her.
And unless she can stop him, he’ll hold her captive in the one cage she won’t be able to escape: her own fear.
Tampa Bay crime reporter Mari Alvarez returns for a third adventure, this time for a deadly game of cat and mouse.
Author Linda Hurtado Bond combines the excitement of a local pirate festival with the horror of an active shooter in the opening pages of All the Captive Girls.
Although it can be read as a standalone, the recommendation is to read the books in sequence. The recurring characters, particularly Mari and Tony, have experienced tremendous growth as they have navigated the many challenges.
In this installment, an old enemy thought dead, rises up to taunt Mari, threatening everything she holds dear. This time around, technology is leveraged to make the chase even more exciting.
All the Captive Girls pits a seasoned crime reporter against a devious killer determined to seek revenge.
