Cold cases get hot in this unputdownable mystery from Jennifer Lynn Barnes, no.1 New York Times bestselling author of The Inheritance Games series. Perfect for fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.

In The Naturals: Killer Instinct, Cassie Hobbes continues to hone her unique gift for profiling people, a talent that has secured her a place in an elite FBI programme designed to crack cold cases. Having narrowly escaped a deadly encounter with an unhinged killer obsessed with her mother's murder, Cassie yearns for some distance and a return to solving cases from afar.

However, the peace is short-lived. A new string of murders thrusts the Naturals into an active investigation, one that's uncomfortably personal. The new serial killer's modus operandi is a hauntingly accurate mimicry of one of the team members' incarcerated fathers—a shadow from the past no one wanted resurrected. Forced to confront their deepest fears and draw on their most exceptional skills, the Naturals must delve into the twisted mind of this copycat killer.

The stakes are higher than ever as they navigate through the killer's elaborate mind games. Will the Naturals manage to outsmart this ruthless opponent, or will they become entrapped in his deadly web?

Born smart. Born tough. Born FBI.

The Naturals is a gripping blend of psychological suspense and forensic expertise, akin to Criminal Minds for the YA world. Ally Carter, New York Times bestselling author, acclaimingly remarked, "I loved every page."
