Fresh off the most challenging case of her career, The 7th Victim heroine and renowned FBI profiler Karen Vail returns in an explosive thriller set against the backdrop of Californias wine country. Hoping to find solace from the demons that haunt her, Vail makes her first trip to the Napa Valley. But shortly after arriving, a victim is found in the deepest reaches of the exclusive wine cave, the work of an extraordinary unpredictable serial killer. From the outset, Vail is frustrated by her inability to profile the offender-until she realizes why: the Behavioral Analysis Unit has not previously encounter a killer like him. As Vail and the task force work around the clock to identify and locate him, theyre caught in a web of knotted with secretive organizations, a decades-long feud between prominent wine families, and widespread corruption that leads Vail to wonder whom, if anyone, she can trust. Meanwhile, as the victim count rises, Vail cant shake the gnawing sense that something isnt right. With the killers actions threatening the Napa Valleys multi-billion dollar industry, the stakes have never been greater, and the race to find the killer never more urgent. And through it all, a surprise lurks...one that Karen Vail never sees coming. Meticulously researched during years of work wit the FBI profiling unit and extensive interviews with wine industry professionals, bestselling author Alan Jacobson delivers a high velocity thriller featuring the kind of edge-of-your-seat ending that inspired Nelson DeMille to call him a hell of a writer.

Review
Steve Berry, "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Charlemagne Pursuit"
"Action-packed story (with) plenty of bark and bite, sizzle and emotion...a tangled tale of delightful intrigue. Well done."
Steve Martini, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Shadow of Power"
"Crisply written, meticulously researched, "Crush" rocks from the opening page to the jarring conclusion. Don't start the book unless you have a full evening to finish it, because you won't be able to put it down."
Kathy Reichs, "New York Times" bestselling author of "206 Bones"
"Karen Vail is one tough character. "Crush" will keep you reading late into the night."
Andrew Gross, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Don't Look Twice"
"Set in the Napa Valley, "Crush" is a smart, stylish whodunnit with lots of surprises and a finish with all the punch of a blockbuster Cabernet."

Crush was good, but it doesnt end.. You have to buy next book for the finish. Not that great.n

I wish I would have purchased it at 0.00, but it's a good book, however, the ploy is to entice you to read Velocity, which I didn't care for and didn't like the price. You have to read it because it is the 2nd part of this book. I thought the 7th victim was really great, but I don't like to be forced to buy a new book to read what happens in the book I was reading. So Free is a great price but just keep in mind if you want to finish the "book" you will have to read velocity which is 17.00 hardcover and 13.00 on kindle.
Next time author please just finish the book and let your readers decide if they want to read another. And, yes I did see your video.. Still don't agree. There was so much fluff in the 3rd book it could have easily been the end of Crush.

Don't like being forced into buying next book to read the ending of the story

I loved the book and would've given it 5 stars....however, the ending (there wasn't one) left you hanging....you have to buy "velocity" to read the conclusion...as much as I loved the book, I will not be manipulated into buying the next book.
I am the type that will buy the whole series of every book I read, but not this one just because of how it was done.
