Drained: Book 1 in the Agent Rawlings Series of FBI Thrillers.

A known serial killer is once again taking lives in Chicago. Bodies drained of blood are being strewn across the city. For former Tampa homicide sergeant, Hank Rawlings, tracking down the man responsible for the killings becomes his first assignment at his new position, agent in the FBI's homicide division of the serial crimes unit.

Almost before the ink dries on the new job’s acceptance papers, Hank finds himself in Chicago, knee-deep in an investigation with a mounting body count.

While every lead brings him and his partner closer to the killer, the one that puts them directly in front of him threatens them most.

"This was my first book by this author but won't be the last, I am looking forward to listening to the next book in this series." ---Books, Movies, Reviews! Oh My!

About the Author

E.H. Reinhard was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He's worked in sales in one form or another for the better part of eighteen years. Previous nine-to-fives include retail management, the auto industry, operating a small business, and running an assortment of entertainment websites that generated tens of millions of page views per month. Reinhard currently has one completed thriller series, the Lieutenant Kane Series, which follows the life on and off duty of a fictional Tampa homicide lieutenant--though if the stories were reality, I think anyone who worked law enforcement and encountered what Kane did would be turning in their resignation. Throughout the story arc of the six-book series, you see Lieutenant Kane go toe-to-toe with some of the most twisted, homicidal, and downright ruthless adversaries imaginable, all while doing his best to juggle his often-turbulent personal life. Reinhard's current work in progress is the Hank Rawlings Series. Hank is pulled from the Lieutenant Kane Series and dropped in a new city and new position--agent in the FBI's serial crimes homicide division. Hank's new job description is simple: track down serial killers and bring them to justice. Hank's work will find him face to face with the most dangerous and demented people to ever walk the earth. Reinhard now resides in sunny Tampa, Florida. When not putting pen to paper, or keys to keyboard, writing thrillers, he is an avid fisherman. So naturally, moving to the fishing capital of the world was a good fit. If you're looking for him, he can usually be found on a boat, canoe, or casting from shore.

Brett (aka John) finally invited Rebecca over for dinner/drink.
Things turned from good to worse.
He had put Rohypnol in her food.
FBI SA Hank Rawlings (Chicago, homicide, Sergeant Tampa PD homicide former) has joined the team & was introduced to: FBI SAC Art Ball, FBI SAC Beth Harper (32, homicide), Jim Robinson (A/A, 60+records, paperwork, travel, warrants, etc.), Lewis Phillips (25+, twin, tech), Marcus Phillips (25+, twin, tech), Bill (field agent), & Scott Mathews (field agent).
SK 138 case file: a decomposed female body had been found in a dumpster.

There are 13 other victims besides her.
More murder cases: Jasmine Thomas, Kennedy Taylor (daughter/sister), & Angela Wormack.
FBI SA Rawlings & FBI SAC Harper were following Officer Murray & Officer Nelson to the crime scene.
Officer Nelson (30+, Chicago PD) & Officer Murray (25+, Chicago PD Chicago PD) were already at the crime scene.
FBI SA Rawlings & FBI SAC Harper went to see Mark Green (Cook County night shift ME), was also there.
Mr. Brett Bailor (aka Rick) stopped by & picked Monica Whickham up.
The ole forgot my wallet, we will have to stop by my place & get it excuse.
FBI SA Rawlings & FBI SAC Harper met FBI SA Nick Freeman (forensics), FBI SA Andrews, & FBI SA Frank Toms at the next crime scene.
Rebecca Wright (city public works office) is the latest victim.
Then it was Monica Whickham.

Will the mass murders be solved & someone brought to justice?

Warning: This book contains extremely graphic adult content, violence, or expletive language &/or uncensored sexually explicit material which is only suitable for mature readers. It may be offensive or have potential adverse psychological effects on the reader.

I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.

A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written FBI thriller book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great FBI thriller movie, or better yet a mini TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is a very easy rating of 5 stars.

Thank you for the free author; Amazon Digital Services LLC.; book

5.0 out of 5 stars Damned good read.

Pretty darned good. Spoiler alert.

This one starts with a man named Brett. Of course that's not the name he gave the young woman who is knocking at his door. A young woman wowed by his obvious wealth, good looks, cooking ability and charm. A young woman who won't survive her encounter with Brett.

Hank Rawlins is a new FBI agent who's on his way to his new job. He gets a call from his old partner now Captain Kane. He and Kane were partners at Tampa PD. Kane is now a Captain and Hank is now an FBI agent.

Hanks wife, Karen, works for the DEA and she transferred to Arlington, VA and Hank immediately started looking for work. He tried the FBI and was hired.

Hank is in his early forties and stands 6'2" and weighs around 200 pounds. He's a good looking guy and has ten years of homicide experience at Tampa. He will be an asset to the FBI and will need all of his experience in the coming days.

Hank and Karen rented a condo and its now full of boxes that need to be unpacked. Their dog Porkchop is always underfoot and all over the place. Hank and Karen wanted to buy a house but the prices were off putting to say the least so a rented condo it is for now.

On arrival at work he meets the only person in the office right now. Beth Harper is her name and she's attractive and athletic looking. Right away she starts giving Hank s**t and it doesn't take long for them to become friends because they are about to land it one hell of a mess as members of the serial crimes unit.

Hank has hit the ground running with his first case on his first day as an FBI agent and what a case it will be.

So begins one damned fine read.

This one has Hank, Beth, their boss Agent Ball, a dating service, young woman who are drained of blood, a serial killer who's been at it for years, a company he owns, Hank and Beth on assignment, Hank and Beth re interviewing all those involved, help from the various FBI offices, a Brett Bailor owner and CEO of the company Beth and Hank are interested in, pieces of the puzzle beginning to fit, a Hank putting those pieces together, a killer trying to mislead the agents, a Beth ends up a victim,. a Hank finally figuring it out and Hank Rawlings doing his best to get the bad guy, save a victim and become one hell of an FBI agent.

Why i chose this rating is because the book is a really good read, nice story, not too much details is the part i liked as sometimes, too much of a description of a place or a person kills the mood to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A REAL THRILLER OF A SERIAL KILLER READ THAT LEADS YOU IN CIRCLES WITH THE REALISM OF THE CHASE - THEN BANG ! !
Reviewed in Canada on October 15, 2017

Well, I must say this is a book with a different presentation style. A thriller - most certainly. Detailed death of many - all women - how they're fooled, isolated, entrapped, and murdered. The police and FBI - all completely stymied. Hank Rawlings, our protagonist, a newly promoted FBI Agent lands in, joins a new partner, and leaps gently into the fray. That he's henpecked is an understatment - his wife even chooses his day to day clothes - a different hero for sure. Now then - the writing style for many here may seem annoying initially as everything is described in detail - cars, people, clothing, houses, offices, rooms, furniture, food, pretty much everything. But there's a diabolically good reason behind that, It helps to underscore the tenacity of the good guys, the arrogance of the antagonist, the lifestyle of the victims, and the extreme process used to cover up the crimes, and then details how things begin to unravel for the murderer. And before long you find yourself actually envisioning the scenes of the story unfolding and getting bigger and bigger glimpses into all the processes and a new appreciation for this writing style. Sure, it takes a few chapters to settle in but the read becomes more and more enticing as you go. A really great read with luck and tenacity going hand in hand to keep you ripping through pages wanting good guy's successes to flail the hell out of the bad guy. Gives you a realistic insight into how the good guys really, actually work and why success comes to those who persevere finally, in the end. OVERALL, AN EXCELLENT READ.

Rawlings continues as a newly appointed FBI after leaving the police department in the Kane series of books. Tracking down a blood thirsty serial killer involves a huge amount of effort, travelling and investigation and getting details from a website. Finally all comes out and the killer is found - but almost at a terrible cost. Great story. A hit too much about clothing and food, but really enjoyable. Now on to the next in the series.
