They All Confessed

Perfect for fans of Isabella Maldonado and Lisa Gardner, USA Today bestselling author Carolyn Ridder Aspenson launches a Savannah-set FBI thriller series where every lie has a breaking point—even the ones told by the FBI.

Three strangers confess to the same murder. None of them are guilty. All of them know details the FBI hasn’t released.

Federal prosecutor Caroline Miller is strangled in a downtown Savannah parking garage, a brass key placed under her tongue. For brand-new Special Agent Gabrielle Redmond, the investigation is already personal. Caroline was with her one year ago, when a bank hostage standoff ended with two bodies, a promise Gabrielle hasn’t kept—and a standing order from the Bureau to leave the case alone.

Before the body is even cold, a retired schoolteacher walks into the FBI and confesses. Then a mechanic. Then a hospice nurse.

The veteran agents call it noise. Gabrielle calls it evidence. As a former hostage negotiator, she knows what a rehearsed story sounds like in a person’s mouth. Someone wrote these confessions. Someone who is still watching.

The killer didn’t just plan a murder. They planned the investigation.

They never planned on Gabrielle Redmond.
