The Countdown: (Kyle Simmons Thriller - Book 2) (A Kyle Simmons Thriller)

The peacefulness of a beautiful autumn morning is shattered when a prominent Philadelphia City Council member is found dead just days before his near cinch reelection.

Hand-picked by the mayor, Detective Kyle Simmons is given one mission: Find the killer by any means necessary before Election Day. It’s clear to Simmons that this murder wasn’t a crime of passion but one of calculated and ruthless aggression.

Within a short time another council member is killed in the same violent manner. Simmons quickly realizes the stakes are climbing and things are quickly spiraling out of control. His best hunch is that a killer known as “The Sandman” is targeting council members one-by-one but is it for revenge… or some other reason?

As the body count rises, a deadly game of cat and mouse begins with Simmons racing against the clock to catch the Sandman before the entire city council is wiped out. Can Simmons stop The Sandman before it’s too late? E.G. Michaels delivers another action-packed thriller that quickly puts the pedal to the metal and keeps it there until the explosive conclusion.
