FBI Profiler Pierce Quincy and Officer Rainie Conner return in a baffling cold case in this exclusive eBook short story by New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner.
A young woman is found strangled in the stairwell of a college library, only her sneakers missing. With no physical evidence, no signs of sexual assault, and no witnesses, all the police have to go on are the three men who were in the library with her: her boyfriend and two campus security guards . . . all of whom have secrets, none of whom can be proven guilty.
Five years later, ex-FBI profiler Pierce Quincy and his wife, former police officer Rainie Conner, agree to consult on the still-unsolved case, delving into deep background to comb for any clue that will lead to the woman’s murderer. But with no leads and the case colder than the body, will they be able to build a case against one of the three suspects, or is there a fourth man out there? And if the killer has eluded the police this long, how far will he go to ensure justice is never served?
With Gardner’s singular ability to delve into the minds of criminals and law enforcement alike, The 4th Man is a shocking look at the reasons for taking a life . . . and just how far profilers need to go to learn them.
It also includes an early look at Gardner’s next chilling thriller, Right Behind You, coming January 31, 2017.

Summary
For fans of Lisa Gardner you are going to be thrilled to see the return of FBI Profiler, Pierce Qunicy and his wife Rainie in this thrilling short story. They have been brought in to help with a cold case that DD Warren has been researching. A women was strangled in the college library stairwell. No witnesses, no sexual assault and her shoes are missing.
DD has it narrowed down the suspects to 3 men who have been caught in a lie. Pierce and Rainie interview each one and try to identify if one of them is the killer.
It is fascinating to watch them interview each suspect and what they are able to gleam from the interview and their body language. I am not sure if I was more surprised by the killer or the motives. What was more shocking was the note from the author in the back of the book.
I received this book from NetGalley. I was not required to write a positive review.
