The Sinister Strand

Just keep telling yourself you are free.

Anneliese is one of the best investigators in Rochester. Or she was.

Then the DNA sequence for serial killers was uncovered and now, instead of a detective, shes a director of the Choosing. Instead of hunting down criminals, shes sending pre-teens with the gene to prison for life.

She hates her new job but cant argue that there hasnt been a murder in Rochester in twelve years. And she cant help but feel guilty about the fact that shes been bored and depressed without any murders to investigate.

But then, theres a body. And its not just anyone, its a cop. Anneliese wants nothing more than to track the perpetrator down. Shes suddenly back to what she loves doing--hunting down bad guys.

But as the bodies start to pile up, the list of suspects expands and shes forced to dive into a new dark reality of society.

Well, at least shes not bored anymore.
