Trail of Evil (The Chemist Series, #2) / The Chemist Series (ePub)

The serial kidnapper known as "the Chemist" is incarcerated and awaiting trial. Yet, to Lt. Cale Van Waring, the case is far from over.

Two female victims remain missing, and a tip points to international human traffickers as Cale's only lead. The trafficking ring, however, is based in Central Europe.

Stressing matters further, Cale learns that his fiancée, Maggie Jeffers, is pregnant-likely by the man who kidnapped and raped her-the Chemist. Surprise twists occur as the abductor (Tobias Crenshaw) plots his release from legal custody.

Having promised the victim's families that he'd continue searching for their missing daughters, Cale embarks on a weeklong odyssey to Europe. Set up by his FBI contacts, he is assisted by three hardcore mercenaries. Cale's search takes him down dark alleys in Rome, Brussels, and the steamy jungles of Liberia. Assassins, sadists, perverts, and even a voodoo witch doctor-all connected with a human trafficking ring-will stop at nothing to thwart Cale's search for his missing victims.

"I love mysteries, intrigue and forensic science. This book has it all. It's not a short book, but I still couldn't put it down. I live near Green Bay, one location in the book which makes it extra fun, but this has no bearing on the exciting story. You will be hooked!" - Jeanne M.

"I am not a writer and I usually don't comment on these reviews but I have to say it is so refreshing to read a thriller with a new twist. This book is very creative and the detail that Janson writes makes you feel like you are in the story, I couldn't put it down." - Sezqt12

"I read this book in 2009 for our book club and again last week because our book club will be discussing books 2 and 3 of the trilogy next month. I thought it was just as great the second time as the first. It is a must read for anyone who likes suspense and a really great mystery." - Charly
