The Dating App Assaults (Peyton Brooks, FBI: Hate Crimes Division Book 1)

After her maternity leave, Peyton reluctantly returns to her job as the lead for the Hate Crimes Division. Taking this job was an opportunity she couldn’t pass up. It meant staying home with her growing family and being there for all of her baby’s firsts, but this team is not like her last one and personality conflicts are inevitable. To complicate things further, the nature of the crimes she must now solve is heartbreaking. Hate Crimes are a particularly heinous set of cases, involving marginalized people in horrifying predicaments, and her first case is no exception. When gay men are being assaulted for using a popular dating app, Peyton and her team must discover the perpetrators as quickly as they can, before another young man winds up injured, or worse, dead. But can she hold her team together in order to solve this case? And will the demands of a new leadership role put unnecessary strain on her family? With each swipe left, another innocent victim may be in the crosshairs of an assailant who has no mercy.
