Dear Reader, A missing detective. A bold serial killer. No worries, though: renowned FBI profiler Karen Vail is on the case. In my latest thriller, which Michael Connelly describes as "relentless as a bullet," Vail is forced to square off against foes more dangerous than any she has encountered. In the process, shocking truths emerge—truths that may just be more than Karen Vail can handle. I've done my usual in-depth, behind-the-scenes research into federal agencies and related sociopolitical issues, so Velocity is a novel designed not only to thrill, but to make you think—while you turn the pages, expecting that one final satisfying "Jacobson twist." I created Karen Vail to be someone we can all relate to: she has flaws, we grieve with her and laugh with her, get angry with her—and at her. Nelson DeMille described Vail as "a hell of a lady: tough, smart, funny, and very believable; James Patterson said Vail is "as compelling a character as any created by Patricia Cornwell or yours truly." Tess Gerritsen calls the Vail character "brilliant." Stay up late and enjoy VELOCITY! Alan www.AlanJacobson.com |
