Serial Killer, Con Artist, and Jelena: A Jelena Cohert FBI Thriller

Serial Killer, Con Artist, and Jelena: A Jelena Cohert FBI Thriller introduces readers to Agent Jelena Cohert, a fiercely determined Latina with a past she can’t quite outrun.

In the gritty underbelly of law enforcement, Jelena has made a name for herself as one of the FBI’s most relentless agents. Her haunted history fuels her pursuit of justice—and her refusal to quit. She’s learned to keep secrets, even from her husband. Some for his protection. Some for her own.

When she’s assigned to track down one of the most notorious con artists of her generation, Jelena finds herself pulled into a tangled web of deceit, corruption, and danger. But just as she closes in, she uncovers a horrifying truth: the con artist isn’t the only predator in play. A serial killer has been lurking in the shadows, and Jelena has already crossed paths with them—without realizing it.

As the case unravels, so does Jelena’s trust—in her team, her instincts, and herself. Each move brings her closer to the truth—and closer to becoming the next target.

In this gritty FBI crime thriller, Jelena must balance her need for justice with the cost of survival. She’s not just chasing killers—she’s fighting the ghosts that made her one of them.
