The Box (A Derek Reed Thriller, #1)

FBI Profiler Agent Derek Reed witnesses the rape and murder of a young girl. The injuries he suffers at the hands of serial killer Josiah Craig, gets him placed on medical leave.

Plagued by nightmares, he decides to take a road trip to see his family. While traveling, he finds a mysterious box filled with trinkets. Upon further inspection, Derek realizes the box holds the souvenirs of a killer's victims.

With hardly any clues to go on, he wonders if he should just bury the box and walk away. However, the guilt he carries won't let him do that. Instead, he uses this journey to atone for his past sins and right a long-ago wrong.

Can he keep the nightmares at bay long enough to figure out who the killer is? Or are they not nightmares at all, but his new reality of living with the dead?
