Praise for Jay Bonansinga

Perfect Victim

“Eerie and mindbendingly imaginative,
Perfect Victim
plumbs the depths of evil—and the result is a chilling ride with scares all the way.”

—Tess Gerritsen,
New York Times
bestselling author of
The Keepsake

“Jay Bonansinga's latest novel to feature Ulysses Grove,
Perfect Victim
, is a nail-biting cycle into terror and madness. Cross Patricia Cornwell with Stephen King and you'll get some idea of what's in store for you. Here's a book that's not for the faint of heart, but for everyone who enjoys a staccato-paced thrill ride into the heart of darkness. It'll leave you gasping for breath up to the very last page.”

—James Rollins,
New York Times
bestselling author of
The Last Oracle

“I loved the book! In
Perfect Victim
Bonansinga's prowess as a storyteller reaches a new level. This stunning thriller, which includes a light dusting of the paranormal and a touch of history, is un-putdownable. Bonansinga's prose is addictive, the plot roils with suspense and action, and his FBI profiler protagonist, Ulysses Grove, grows more appealing with each novel. Well done!”

—Libby Hellman,
Edgar-nominated
editor/author of
Easy Innocence

Shattered

“M. Night Shyamalan, meet Harlan Coben.
Shattered
seamlessly blends the frightening metamorphosis of a serial killer with a race-against-the-clock chase. Who is more haunted, the serial killer or the FBI profiler chasing him? The head-spinning plot turns and fascinating characters put
Shattered
at the top of any reading list. This novel will stay with you long after you finish it.”

David Ellis,
Edgar Award–winning author of
Eye of the Beholder

“A great hero, a truly sinister villain, and a riveting game of cat and mouse between them—
Shattered
is a gripping, compulsively readable thriller.”

—
Joseph Finder,
New York Times
bestselling author of
Power Play
and
Killer Instinct

“A first-rate suspense thriller, as compelling as it is frightening…. Bonansinga never lets the intensity flag while balancing believable characters, forensic science, hard-nosed detective work, and paranormal flourishes. Grove proves to be one of the most genuine, flesh-and-blood suspense-thriller protagonists out there, and the foe Bonansinga pits against him is truly chilling.”

New York Times
bestselling
author of
Scavenger

“A captivating novel of cold and meticulous suspense, Bonansinga's
Frozen
rings a bell that defines eternal evil in all its manifestations, in fact spanning Six thousand years of the entity we call evil. This thriller is like no other serial killer novel. It has everything—a unique setting, a compelling lead character, a new twist on forensics, and the latent evil of mankind.”

—Robert W. Walker,
author of
Absolute Instinct
and

Frozen
will chill you to the bone! Bonansinga breathes much-needed life into the serial killer genre while simultaneously turning it on its head. With enough suspense, twists, action, and surprise revelations for a dozen thrillers,
Frozen
is the must-read book of the season, written by a master at the top of his game. Be prepared to set aside a few days, because once you begin
Frozen,
you won't be able to put it down.
Frozen
kicks serious ass.”

Frozen
is the latest example of author Jay Bonansinga's impressive range, depth, and audacity…. Bonansinga nimbly avoids all melodramatic traps and makes his two investigators believable and moving.”

—Chicago Tribune

“One of the best pure thrillers I've read all year—a marvelous, addictive piece of detective fiction that will appeal to anyone who enjoys the strange-science leanings of the Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child novels.”
