A Trace of Vice (a Keri Locke Mystery--Book #3) Kindle Edition

by Blake Pierce (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 1,116 ratings
“A dynamic story line that grips from the first chapter and doesn't let go.”
--Midwest Book Review, Diane Donovan (regarding Once Gone)

From #1 bestselling mystery author Blake Pierce comes a new masterpiece of psychological suspense.

In A TRACE OF VICE (Book #3 in the Keri Locke mystery series), Keri Locke, Missing Persons Detective in the Homicide division of the LAPD, follows a fresh lead for her abducted daughter. It leads to a violent confrontation with The Collector—which, in turn, offers more clues that may, after all this time, reunite her with her daughter.

Yet at the same time, Keri is assigned a new case, one with a frantic ticking clock. A teenage girl has gone missing in Los Angeles, a girl from a good family was who duped into drugs and abducted into a sex trafficking ring. Keri is hot on her trail—but the trail is moving fast, with the girl being constantly moved and with her abductors’ single, nefarious goal: to cross her over the border with Mexico.

In an epic, breathtaking, cat and mouse chase that takes them through the seedy underworld of trafficking, Keri and Ray will be pushed to their limits to save the girl—and her own daughter—before it is all too late.

A dark psychological thriller with heart-pounding suspense, A TRACE OF VICE is book #3 in a riveting new series—and a beloved new character—that will leave you turning pages late into the night.

“A masterpiece of thriller and mystery! The author did a magnificent job developing characters with a psychological side that is so well described that we feel inside their minds, follow their fears and cheer for their success. The plot is very intelligent and will keep you entertained throughout the book. Full of twists, this book will keep you awake until the turn of the last page.”
--Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Once Gone)

    I have loved every one of Blake Pierce's novels that I've read. I'm so glad that Keri and Rae were able to Save the day in this novel too. I'm excited to start A Trace of Crime. I'd love for Blake Pierce to write a series called The Making of Keri Locke. It would also be nice to know how all of the characters in his novels are doing because he writes so well that you develop a relationship with all of the characters in all of his novels.

    Keri and Ray are at it again. These two missing persons investigators (detectives) never give up until every clue to the whereabouts of the person, especially when it is a child or teenager. If you don't know Keri Locke's eight year old daughter was abducted while they were in this park, her going over a speech she was going to make because at the time she happened to a Professor in College in the study of Forensic Crime. So she is paired up with this use to be prized boxer who took one to many hits and was knocked out. In this story they are searching for Sarah Caldwell a young teenager, 16 years old, who was born to this loving couple who had her late in life and she was their everything and she loved them too just as much. So when they called the Captain sent them over to get the details just in case she really was missing and guess what she had been abducted by this men who trafficked in the abduction of young girls, I mean really young girls and also. Anyways they took down the information which led them to her friend Lanie who thought she was just showing her friend to her boyfriend to prove that she had friends. Lanie ended up getting abducted to, so the boyfriend was using her too. During this time she is getting information from the "Collector", they man who took her Evie so in the span of like 24 hours she finds out that Sarah Caldwell has really been abducted and she goes to meet with the man she thinks had abducted her Evie. I started reading Blake Pierce books with Jessie Hunt and so since I am waiting on more of her books to be written I decided that Blake writes a good mystery to I should check out some of his other mystery series. I have been pleasantly surprised. Although Jessie Hunt is my favorite I will give the other mystery series a chance and you should too. I recommend the Keri Locke Series.

    Blake Pierce has written a series of books that I love. There are some over-the-top moments of "Uh-huh, sure," but if you can suspend your disbelief just a tad more than normal you'll have a fantastic time riding along beside Keri and Ray.

    Loved Loved Loved Sarah Caldwell's monologue.

    You'll have to read the book to know of what I'm talking. It was a great moment.

    I really enjoyed the first 3 books in this series. Blake Pierce does a masterful job in taking on very intense situations without resorting to the vulgar language so many authors feel compelled to use. Having said that...I am a tad frustrated to have read 3 books about Keri Locke and Ray Sands with no resolution of the 2 issues that have been carried throughout the 3 books. How many more books does one have to purchase to get answers?

    Story develops more and gives a few teasing grabs at the grand finale. Not to be in this book but looking forward to the next one.
