Until he finds the body of his boss, Denny Schefte, near their remote Oregon cabin. Now all he wants is to catch the sadist who slit Denny’s throat and covered his face with a mask. Mason was the last person to see him alive and will stop at nothing to find his friend’s murderer.
When the FBI learns of the mask left at the scene, they realize they have a serial killer on their hands—one who is targeting cops. They assign the case to Special Agent Ava McLane, despite her engagement to Mason. Barely recovered from her own nearly fatal injury and her sister’s attempted suicide, Ava hopes she is ready to chase another killer.
But as she delves into the increasingly disturbing case, the killer may be closer than expected—dangerously close.
Targeted was another excellent book by Kendra Elliot and the fourth book in her Callahan and McLane series. Even though this is part of a series it can be read as a stand alone. It does make references to the previous books but does not give any true spoilers about who the killers are so none of that will be ruined for you just some other plot parts might be ruined by not reading the books in order.
As for this book the dynamic duo of Mason and Ava are back to try to find another crazy killer and this time the killer is hitting close to home. His victims are cops and his first victim was Mason's beloved boss who he killed right under Mason and three other cop's noses while they were away on vacation together. What kind of killer does that? Then to make things interesting he covers his victims faces with a mask from a villain from a horror movie. Because Mason is a witness he can't officially be part of the case so that leaves it up Ava and a talented task force to try to figure out who is after these officers and why and who will be next? With the body count raising and a false confession will Mason and Ava figure out who is doing the killing before someone else dies?
I also loved that this book let us learn more about Ava and her sister's relationship and more about her childhood. It was nice getting to know Ava better. It also touched on Zander a bit more so it was nice seeing more of him.
Overall, this book had it all, an in depth look at the characters in the series and a great mystery. I am definitely giving it five out of five stars.
