I'm posting a 'soon to be released' book on Wednesdays. These will always be books that I am particularly looking forward to. I'll be linking up to 'Can't-Wait Wednesday' hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings and plan to take part in this each week.
This week's book is the second in a new series written by Spencer Kope. I read the first book, COLLECTING THE DEAD last summer and then listened to it on audio with my husband as we traveled to New Mexico for a vacation. I liked the protagonist, Magnus 'Steps' Craig, and his whole FBI Special Tracking Unit. So excited to anticipate the next 'Steps' and Jimmy (his partner) adventure. Here's the details:
by Spencer Kope
Publication Date: April 17th
Magnus “Steps” Craig is an FBI agent and an elite tracker, easily the best in the world. Steps is renowned for his incredible ability to find and follow trails over any surface. As part of the three-man special team, FBI’s Special Tracking Unit (STU), he is called in on cases where his skills are indispensable. But there’s a secret to his skill. Steps has a kind of synesthesia, an ability that allows him to see whatever each particular person has touched in a unique color—what Steps calls ‘shine.’ His ability is known to only a few people—his father, the director of the FBI, and his partner, Special Agent Jimmy Donovan.
While the Special Tracking Unit tries to grapple with the gruesome scene in El Paso, they soon discover another, earlier victim. Once again, only the feet—in a disposable icebox—were left behind. With almost no clues besides the body parts, Steps and his team find themselves enmeshed in the most difficult case of their careers. And The Icebox Killer has only just begun.
Not aware of this series but it does sound really good. Nice choice and I might have to check out book 1.
ReplyDeleteIt was different, but very enjoyable.
DeleteI haven't read anything by this author, but sounds as if I should start with the first one. I like the idea of a tracker.
ReplyDeleteYou should start with the first one. Lots of character set-up in that book.
DeleteI read the first book in the series last year, enjoyed the original scenario, and hope to continue. Thanks for reminding me of it!
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome!
DeleteThat's new to me. I hope you get it soon.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's the waiting that's hard. LOL
DeleteThat sounds like a rather grizzly crime! I hope they catch the bed guy. I will keep my eye out for this series. I hope you enjoy this one when you read it, Kay!
ReplyDeleteIt does sound pretty 'grizzly' doesn't it? Sorry about that. I think I'll like it though as my 'gore' meter is set pretty high. LOL
DeleteThe synesthesia angle sounds interesting. Will have to check this series out. Hope you enjoy the new book!
ReplyDeleteYes, I like books that include characters with this condition. I find it pretty fascinating - not that I'd like to have it or anything.
DeleteSounds like a really good series ~ Enjoy! Thanks for stopping by my blog.

I sure liked the first book. Hope this one is as good.
DeleteOh this does sound good and not an author I'd come across before - I hope it lives up to the anticipation.
ReplyDeleteI do too, Cleo!
DeleteThis sounds like a great series with an interesting concept. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a bit different and there is a lot of humor as well.
DeleteI haven't heard of this author but I love the sound of this mystery! Feet in a cooler is not something I'd want to discover.
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't think any of us want to do that. LOL
DeleteMurder is always intriguing....
ReplyDeleteIt is in my reading world. :-)
DeleteThis sounds like a book I'd like.
ReplyDeleteIt does sound like a good one, doesn't it?
DeleteI’m always excited about a second book by an author whose first book I loved. I hope this one turns out to be fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI do too, Deb. I really liked the first book.
DeleteThat synesthesia thing sounds really interesting. Hope you love it when you read it!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm always intrigued by synesthesia and how it works. Can't imagine having that condition.
DeleteI just got an ARC of this one. I'm hoping to get to it soon. I enjoyed the first book, but I hear this one's better, so I'm excited as well!
ReplyDeleteThat's good to know, that this one is supposed to be even better. Hope it has the humor that the first had.
DeleteI loved the first book and have an ARC of this one. Can't wait till it comes up to the top of the pile!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I have an ARC as well and looking forward to it.
Deletesynesthesia? That's unexpected! As is a tracking unit being central to the plot. Great choice!
ReplyDeleteIt's an interesting condition, isn't it? I've read several books featuring characters with synesthesia. I'm still fascinated.
DeleteI've not heard of either this one or the first book, which is a shame since they seem like my kind of books. On the bright side I could binge them both when the second comes out.
ReplyDeleteYou could indeed. Good plan!
DeleteOh sounds like a good one! I don't follow a lot of FBI sleuths so I'd like to check this one out.
ReplyDeleteGlad it sounds good to you, Iliana!
DeleteSounds mysteriously good! I hope you enjoy it just as much as the first book!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for linking up!

I think I probably will. :-)
DeleteSorry, I am a bit late with my comment. To be honest, this is the first time that I hear of this author or book. The cover got me, and the summary sounds thrilling. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes

It's never too late! LOL
DeleteGlad it sounds good to you. It's different for sure, but also has a lot of humor.
