Bethany Briggs

The Analyst Publisher's Summary

A rising FBI analyst’s investigation into a quadruple murder, a diplomat’s assassination, and a fugitive’s death leads her on a dangerous quest through her own family’s history, exposing lethal secrets.

At twenty-three, Bethany Briggs is one of the youngest analysts serving in the FBI’s San Francisco field office. Smart and diligent, she gets a big break when the violent crimes squad enlists her help in a case that brings her own cultural ties unexpectedly to the forefront.

Four Filipino men—three of them members of the communist militia—are found murdered in the rainforest. Soon after, a diplomat is assassinated and the body of the prime suspect in the quadruple murder washes up on a beach. There’s a darker pattern beneath these killings. FBI investigations don’t often turn personal. But as each murder connects to the next, the compelling trail of forensic evidence, including surveillance footage, leads Bethany straight to someone she loves.

Caught up in a dangerous web of secrets and political intrigue, Bethany must now decide where her duty lies. And between her duty and her heritage stands an impossible choice—family loyalty colliding with a name that just became Bethany’s top person of interest.
