STALKING (The Making of Riley Paige—Book Five) is book #5 in a new psychological thriller series by #1 bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose free bestseller Once Gone (Book #1) has received over 1,000 five star reviews.

When two teenage girls turn up dead in different states, each strangled, and each killed within days of each other—the FBI calls in its brilliant new agent, 22 year old Riley Paige, to stop the serial killer before he strikes again.

Riley, fresh out of the academy and off her last case, is settling into FBI life and to her new partnership with her mentor, Jake. She is starting to feel confident in her abilities—when this new case lands. It is a case that shocks her, that stumps her, and that rocks her self confidence to its very core.

What do these two girls have in common? Why can't she figure it out? Is this killer as diabolical as she suspects?

The only way to find out is for Riley to enter the dark canals of the killer's mind, to stare into the precipice of darkness—and to hope that it doesn't swallow her alive.

An action-packed thriller with heart-pounding suspense, STALKING is book #5 in a riveting new series that will leave you turning pages late into the night. It takes readers back 20 plus years—to how Riley's career began—and is the perfect complement to the ONCE GONE series (A Riley Paige Mystery), which includes 15 books and counting.
