description: "[A] thrilling launch of a new series . . . Works well as a solid police procedural and also an in-depth character study . . . Elsa maps out the darkness of a predator that preys on teenagers while navigating her own dark place."<b>Oline Cogdill</b>, <b><i>Associated Press</i></b><br /><br />"One of the most compelling psychological thrillers I've read in a long time, <em>A Map of the Dark</em> grabs you from the very first page and does not loosen its grip. I read this book in a day---I simply could not put it down---but I will be thinking about it for much longer."<b><i>Alison Gaylin, <i>USA Today</i> bestselling author of <em>What Remains of Me</em></i></b><br /><br />"<i>A Map of the Dark</i> is a taut, tense, exciting read with a sharp and very human protagonist."<b><i>Reed Farrel Coleman, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>What You Break</i><br /></i></b><br /><br />"A terrific novel, wonderfully written, richly populated, and utterly gripping from start to finish"<b><i>Chris Pavone, <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of <em>The Travelers</em></i></b><br /><br />"[A] riveting series launch . . .

Readers will savor getting to know this singular heroine."<b><i><i>Kirkus Reviews</i></i></b><br /><br />"Elegant, haunting . . . a far-from-ordinary FBI novel."<b><i><i>Literary Hub</i>, "15 Books You Should Read This January"</i></b><br /><br />"Tight prose, strong characters, and deft storytelling... A riveting tale that begs to be read in one sitting.

A solid choice for readers who enjoy Tana French's Dublin Murder Squad series."<b><i><i>Booklist</i></i></b><br /><br />"A beautifully rendered portrait of familial grief, loss, and decades-old demons wrapped inside a terrific race-against-time thriller starring a believably flawed heroine. I hope we haven't seen the last of FBI agent Elsa Myers, whose choices, past and present, will haunt me for a very long time."<b><i>Sarah Weinman, editor of <em>Women Crime Writers: Eight Suspense Novels of the 1940s &amp; '50s </em>and <em>Troubled Daughters, Twisted Wives</em></i></b>
