Kill Her Again by Robert Gregory Browne
Published by Pan Books on 1st May 2009
FBI agent Anna McBride has reached a crisis point in her life. Disgraced and demoted after leading a disastrous operation in South San Francisco, she finds herself reassigned to one of the Bureau’s Southern California satellite offices, stuck with a partner who’s about as obnoxious as they come. But Anna is also battling demons of her own. Increasingly vivid and disturbing nightmares have begun to blur her judgement and interfere with her job, nightmares of a little girl being kidnapped by a man who keeps appearing with a red cap. When she seeks the help of hypnotherapist, Daniel Pope – a consultant on a case she’s currently investigating – a past life regression session suggests that Anna is the reincarnated victim of a notorious serial killer. Armed with this knowledge, and using clues found only in her nightmares, Anna circumvents Bureau rules and begins investigating a twenty-eight year-old case, hoping to find the killer of the girl who once harboured her soul.
The thing that’s attracting me to Robert Gregory Brown apart from the strange mix of FBI Agent and hypnotherapist is that it’s not that start, middle or end of a series. It’s a stand-alone, which is quite rare in crime drama. Oh and it’s quite short.
