From Blake Pierce, bestselling author of ONCE GONE (a #1 bestseller with over 600 five star reviews), comes book #2 in a heart-pounding new mystery series. In BEFORE HE SEES (A Mackenzie White Mystery—Book 2), FBI agent-in-training Mackenzie White struggles to make her mark in the FBI Academy in Quantico, trying to prove herself as a woman and as a transplant from Nebraska. Hoping she has what … has what it takes to become an FBI agent and leave her life in the Midwest behind for good, Mackenzie just wants to keep a low profile and impress her superiors.
But all that changes when the body of a woman is found in a garbage dump. The murder bears shocking similarities to the Scarecrow Killer—the case that made Mackenzie famous in Nebraska—and in the frantic race against time to stop a new serial killer, the FBI decides to break protocol and give Mackenzie a chance on the case.
It is Mackenzie’s big break, her chance to impress the FBI—but the stakes have never been higher. Not everyone wants her on the case, and everything she touches seems to go wrong. As the pressure mounts and the killer strikes again, Mackenzie finds herself as a lone voice in a sea of experienced agents, and she soon realizes she is in way over heard. Her entire future with the FBI is in jeopardy.
As tough and determined as Mackenzie is, as brilliant as she is in hunting down killers, this new case proves an impossible riddle, something just beyond her reach. She may not even have time to crack it as her own life falls apart around her.
A dark psychological thriller with heart-pounding suspense, BEFORE HE SEES is book #2 in a riveting new series—with a beloved new character—that will leave you turning pages late into the night.

I enjoyed cheering on a young FBI recruit who faced somewhat typical difficulties entering a “man’s world” despite her skills and previous success.The characters were varied and there was enough suspense to make me want to keep reading.
I really like this author!
I liked it because as a law enforcement officer I attended the FBI academy in Quantico. I was not an agent but observed many and could see the characters in this book as real.
Loved it – even though it isn’t my usual police procedural book.
This is a very good book to read.
It was good until the end and there was no reveal of the killer. I wanted to know more about his psycho pathology and details of his life. It seemed like the author just got tired of creating at the end and just took then just took the easy way out and signed off. Don’t plan to read anymore by this author.
Second book I’ve read by this author. Good story, unpredictable. Page-Turner but needed some proofing.
Great
Was so-so.
Oh my gosh I could not stop reading this!!!! So scary but such a great writing by the author….great job.
I love Blake Pierce books. I’ve read them all.
I thought is was suspenseful and a nice fast easy read
My kind of book.Thank you
The book was awesome. I liked it so much I started to read the whole series. I would recommend as a must read.
Great book. I enjoyed reading every page. Will read more from this author.
Good book, the characters could have been fleshed out better.
Very realistic characters make this book all the more enjoyable. This has an action packed plot complemented with a main character who is very self-reflective. As an FBI agent in training, she is thrown into the real world of the FBI before she’s 100% ready for it. This is a story of her personal growth during this time as she works against the clock that could mean the death of another person as well as her own career suicide. Very good read!
Thin shallow uninteresting plot.
Very good book. I’m looking forward to reading the series.
The main character’s history gave her special insight into solving a hard to pin down serial killer. She put her own life at risk when her intuition led her to push forward with a solo investigation, even at the likely cost of her career.
