The Mile Marker Murders

By C.W. Saari

Book One in the Tyler Bannister FBI series

Fugitive Terry Hines, suspected of involvement with terrorists, has been on FBI Agent Tyler Bannister’s radar for some time when Federal prosecutor Kendall Briggs is murdered and a microbiologist at the CDC is stabbed to death and a biotoxin is missing. Bannister suspects the crimes are all related. The investigation takes a personal turn when Bannister’s daughter is kidnapped and he is in a race against time to save his daughter and neutralize a biological attack.

When Caleb Williamson, a career officer with the CIA, disappears, officials are left wondering whether he is a spy who has defected or the victim of a crime. Meanwhile, Williamson’s friend, FBI agent Tyler Bannister, is focused on catching an extortionist who has threatened to unleash a biological poison if a multimillion dollar demand is not met.

When Williamson turns up dead alongside the corpses of two women near a northern Virginia highway, Bannister is assigned to a task force to identify what looks to be a cunning serial killer.

While Bannister becomes obsessed with finding the murderer before he strikes again, a fourth body is discovered. The stakes become personal when the killer targets a beautiful woman at the FBI Academy who is Bannister’s new love interest.
