A man with a fanatical love for women. A steadily growing body count. An FBI agent on a mission to stop an expert with an unhealthy obsession before he makes her his final victim.
"The twist of this tale...totally unexpected." -- Melissa A.
"A spine-chilling bombshell." -- Paula R.

North Carolina. After a near brush with death, FBI special agent Frankie Johnson isn’t sure she's ready to hunt another killer, but when local law enforcement discovers a young woman surgically mutilated and burned, she can't say no. A unique scalpel left on the scene leads her to a twisted surgeon she is certain is the culprit, but with no other physical evidence to prove his guilt and her only witness suddenly dead, she fears she won't be able to stop him before he seeks another victim.

Frankie bleeds for justice. But to prove her case and show the ranks she's ready to lead, she’ll have to battle unexpected foes both inside and outside the Bureau. For her rogue ways have left her alone just as a man with a deadly obsession has set his sights on her, and nothing will stop him from getting what he wants.

Can she dissuade his passion before she becomes his final project? Find out today.

The Art of Obsession is the cutting second book in the FBI Local Profiler thriller series. If you like fascinating characters, quiet creepiness, and shocking twists, then you’ll love Lori Lacefield’s portrait of compulsion. Buy today or read for FREE on Kindle Unlimited.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Lori is a writer of suspense thrillers including the Frankie Johnson, FBI Local Profiler Series, and the Women of Redemption Series.

Each book in the FBI Local Profiler Series features behavioral analysis along with local and federal police procedure as Frankie is called to the scene of a brutal crime, and must work with the various branches of law enforcement to hunt a brutal killer. Each book also focuses on a different aspect of police procedure, such as interrogation techniques, crime scene examination, and forensic photography. 99 Truths is the first in the Frankie Johnson, FBI Local Profiler Series.

The Women of Redemption Series features ordinary women who become entangled in extraordinary circumstances when their past deeds circle back in ways they never expected. Lori's books center around flawed, but realistic, characters who must face the consequences that have resulted from their choices and actions. These women aren't perfect, but perfectly kick-ass when given a second chance. Each book can be read as a stand-alone as every novel focuses on a different protagonist with the central theme of redemption.

Lori began her writing journey at the age of fourteen, making up stories about teens navigating the precarious world between childhood and adulthood. Those troubles seem tame compared to the entanglements of blackmail, murder, and misconduct her characters find themselves in now. Lori attended her first writing conference more than twenty years ago, and since has studied the art and craft of fiction writing through attending many conferences, picking the brains of best-selling authors, and studying numerous writing references.

Lori is a lover of coffee, books, music, yoga, pilates, wine, travel, and most of all dogs. She lives in Colorado with three adorable Pomeranians.

Such a good book; tightly written with twists and turns and parts where you need to turn the page but aren’t sure you want to know what happens. Frankie, the profiler, and her crew leave you breathless. Definitely a must read… with the lights on!

I enjoyed this book. It kept me guessing right up to the end. I knew how I wanted it to end,but I couldn't tell if it would or not and I wasn't sure who the bad guy was. Frustrating workplace dynamics which is pretty realistic also.

Another exciting book by Lori Lacefield

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2021

I received an advance copy of this book for an honest review. This is the second Frankie Johnson book and the 3rd I have read by Lori Lacefield. Frankie is a profiler for the FBI and when she pulls out her posterboards and starts writing different possible profiles it is fascinating to me. They find a young girl murdered and it appears there are more similar missing girls so it looks like they are off to find a serial killer. Frankie normally works with her partner Ben but he is on another assignment and she is lead on this case. Like Lori's other books, lots of surprises and twists and once again Frankie does some things on her own I'm sure the FBI would not put up with but it sure makes for an exciting book. I thought I might have guessed what was going on but she surprised me. A good read!

Twists, turns, and edge of seat page flipping story. Frankie is one for taking risks and she jumps right in once again. Not sure how many times she'll be able to put herself in harms way and keep the series going when risking life and limb to get her criminal. Great characters.

Great read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 6, 2023

This is the second book in a series and while it does stand alone does reference events and characters from the first book so I'd suggest they are read in order.

Frankie an FBI profiler is called in to investigate a woman who has been murdered after having her breasts surgically removed. Although the killer tried to disguise the body with a fire it was discovered too early leading her to suspect that they may have a serial killer on their hands.

The book is fast paced, well written and the characters are engaging and developed from the first book. I really enjoyed this and am looking forward to reading more by this author.

In some ways it was the typical, girl goes off to do her own thing in the investigation, girl gets in trouble read, would i read more of Frankie i think so, but hopefully she learns a few lessons on how to be a FBI agent and play well with others
