Fatal Twist by Alan Jacobson is the first short story in the “Karen Vail” thriller series. Publisher: Premier Digital Publishing, December 2011

The Park Rapist has murdered his first victim—and FBI profiler Karen Vail is on the case. As Vail races through the streets of Washington, D.C. to chase down a promising lead that may help her catch the killer, a military-trained sniper takes aim at his target, a wealthy businessman’s son. But what brings these two unrelated offenders together is something the nation’s capital has never before experienced.

Karen is on the trail of a rapist while the DC cops search for a sniper. The two cases collide with a twist I didn’t’ see coming. This short story was a great interlude and I can’t wait for the next Karen Vail book.
