JEOPARDY SURFACE

JEOPARDY SURFACE marks the debut of a compelling new crime series featuring a one-of-kind protagonist and ,cutting-edge investigative techniques that will have you turning pages late into the night. It&rsquo,s the witching hour and Special Agent Regan Ross is having a WTF kind of night. Morning? How the hell did she get from her bed to her front yard? And why is she holding a loaded firearm? Sleepwalking doesn&rsquo,t bode well for the rising star in the FBI&rsquo,s Behavioral Analysis Unit, but whatever is causing her recent weight loss and bizarre nocturnal activities will have to wait. The phone is ringing. It&rsquo,s probably her sister Erin, the surgeon who knows best, demanding to know her plans for the holidays. Why would this year be any different? They&rsquo,ll spend the somber anniversary and Christmas like always&mdash,drinking too much, watching Turner Classic Movies, and not talking about their dead parents. Caller ID provides yet another surprise. Hearing Special Agent Robert Haskins&rsquo, voice for the first time in six months has Regan reeling. The mention of Maryland&rsquo,s Eastern Shore conjures images of Jennifer Abbott, the student-athlete whose disappearance from a small campus is national news. There are complications. For starters, her areas of expertise&mdash,geographic profiling and predictive analysis&mdash,require a lot of information from a ,series ,of crimes. Single murders typically aren&rsquo,t her purview and involving herself in an investigation to which she has not been officially assigned will send the BAU chief&rsquo,s blood pressure through the roof. , She should say no, but she won&rsquo,t. There&rsquo,s too much residual guilt where Rob Haskins is concerned. Regan Ross knows bad, and this one is ,BAD. The killer has left the mutilated body and a cache of troubling clues at a remote farm and posted the coordinates of the cache on a popular geocaching website. Is
