The Killings Begin

By Bradley Pay

She does not ask permission. And you know why the killings begin.

Ready for her world to open up, eighteen-year-old Gia Delgado is fearless-an unconventional arrangement with three men, a Madrid penthouse in The Peacock, a future on her own terms. She makes no apologies, does not look back-and no one is allowed to fall in love.

Five years of the unexpected-dancing in a basement club, river cruises through Europe, a wedding in Rotterdam-unfold with the found family Gia never knew she needed. She discovers firsthand what fierce loyalty and keeping secrets actually feel like.

Across the Atlantic, Judge Tracey Lauch's forgotten childhood memories come flooding back. Something inside him breaks-and he does not stop there. It is not until a local newspaper publishes the patterns in the crimes that he flees to Europe, hoping distance will keep the impulse under control.

When their paths cross at a sunlit European caf , you are inside Tracey's head. You watch him fight it. And you know that one of the women sitting at that table will not make it home.

The Killings Begin is unlike any murder novel you have read-because you are not trying to solve it. Instead, you are anticipating who will be next.
