Book Description

A bundle of books #2 (NOT LIKE HE SEEMED) and #3 (NOT LIKE YESTERDAY) in Ava Strong’s Ilse Beck FBI Suspense Thriller series! This bundle offers books two and three in one convenient file, with over 100,000 words of reading. In this bestselling mystery series, FBI Special Agent Ilse Beck, victim of a traumatic childhood in Germany, moved to the U.S. to become a renowned psychologist specializing in PTSD, and the world’s leading expert in the unique trauma of serial-killer survivors. By studying the psychology of their survivors, Ilse has a unique and unparalleled expertise in the true psychology of serial killers. Ilse never expected, though, to become an FBI agent herself. In NOT LIKE HE SEEMED (Book #2), the FBI desperately needs Ilse’s help to catch the “Alphabet Killer”—an unhinged serial killer who seems to be arranging his victims’ bodies in the shapes of letters. Is he spelling a word? Or hinting at who will be next? Ilse, plagued by her own past, realizes the time has come to face her demons and revisit the site of her childhood home in Germany. But will the trip help her expunge her own dark memories—or push her over the edge? But in a frantic race against time, the FBI needs her to decode the Alphabet Killer. Is there a method to his madness, a way to stop the next victim before it’s too late? Or is this killer far more cunning and deranged than anyone could imagine? In NOT LIKE YESTERDAY (Book #3), when victims of a deranged serial killer are found stuffed, the signature of a taxidermist, FBI Special Agent Ilse Beck is summoned. Is there a pattern to this killer’s madness? Or is he far more cunning than they imagine? Can Ilse juggle this case with another return trip to Germany, as she, finally, closes in on the darkest secrets of her childhood? And can she enter this killer’s mind and catch him before it’s too late? A dark and suspenseful crime thriller, the bestselling ILSE BECK series is a breathtaking page-turner, an unputdownable mystery and suspense novel. A compelling and perplexing psychological thriller, rife with twists and jaw-dropping secrets, it will make you fall in love with a brilliant new female protagonist, while it keeps you shocked late into the night.
