Autumn Trent Series

Welcome to the nightmare...

To Special Agent Autumn Trent, it feels like déjà vu when a four-year-old boy appears on the front steps of FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit with a package taped to his chest and a note for "Agent Parrish and his superhero team." After all, it seems like just yesterday her best friend Special Agent Winter Black was strapped in an explosive vest among a crowd of unsuspecting civilians.

But instead of a bomb, the package holds a hand-drawn map and the cling-wrapped heart of the boy's mother. And instead of Winter's deranged brother, they're dealing with an equally demented madwoman who poses just as much threat to the entire Richmond team.

One by one.

Jane Doe is quietly stalking them, taking innocent lives to put each member of the team through their own worst nightmare. And she's pulling it off right under their noses.

Who is she, and where will she strike next?

Autumn is certain the answer lies in decoding the map. But can she figure it out before more victims die? And before Jane Doe breaks them all?

Autumn's Deceit, the first book in Mary Stone's Autumn Trent Series—the gripping sequel series to the Autumn Files season of the beloved Winter Black series—is a twisted descent into the mind of a killer that will make you realize some nightmares are real.
