About this ebook
In rural Indiana, the underground mines that once held coal and iron ore have become killing grounds. In two counties, five corpses have been discovered. Their deaths appear accidental, from drowning or suffocating in flooded and abandoned mines. But local authorities, including Chief Shaunda Lynch, have uncovered evidence suggesting they’ve all been murdered.
Assigned to the case as Federal Agents, Detectives Jack Murphy and Liddell Blanchard take charge of the investigation. Shaunda’s proven herself more than capable of policing her jurisdiction and resents the intrusion of male authority figures. As Jack digs deep into the case, he discovers the victims have checkered pasts. But no matter who believes the killings are justified, someone still has to pay for the crime . . .
Praise for Rick Reed and his novels
"Rick Reed’s books have an edge that only a man in law enforcement, working in the field, can bring to life."
- Tierney James, author of the Enigma series
“Reed thrusts his story forward to bring us along on a ride we won’t soon forget!”
—Suspense Magazine
“Reed gives the reader a genre story worth every minute and every penny spent.”
—Book Reporter
“A jaw-dropping thriller.”—Gregg Olsen

The Fiercest Enemy by Rick Reed Jack Murphy Thriller #9 Jack Murphy and Liddell Blanchard are once again called from the jobs as detectives to work as FBI agents and are sent to try to figure out why men are going missing across state lines. Is a serial murderer on the loose and if so...who is it and how will the murderer be caught? What do mines and water have to do with anything and how will they find then follow the clues to capture the killer? What I liked: * The case is intriguing * Following the clues was interesting * The reason behind the murders was believable * The dynamics between Jack and Liddell showed their long friendship and ability to work well together * Angelina was a savvy IT guru that added assistance when needed * Watching the police interact with Jack and Liddell once they took over the case * The procedural aspects of the story * That Jack and Liddell prevailed and found the answers to their questions What I didn’t like: * Well...I probably should NOT have read the end first...it kind of made the surprise not so much of a surprise. That said...did enjoy the story * Realizing once again that evil begets evil Did I enjoy this book? Yes Would I read more by this author? Yes Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington – Lyrical Underground for the ARC – This is my honest review. 4-5 Stars
