The Unthinkable

A detective's niece is found murdered in his bedroom. To pacify the victim's father, who is a judge, an outsider, F.B.I. Agent Michaela Kaden is brought in to lead the investigation.
Instead of pleasing her superiors, Michaela pursues a troubled family member of the victim. While unraveling clues, she learns the crime is much worse than anything she expected. As she gets closer to the truth, the killer gets closer to her.

Trying to figure out Dylan Brand is like solving a mystery with a degree of difficulty somewhere between Scooby-Doo and Agatha Christie. First, it is only fair to share that Dylan Brand is a pseudonym. The mind behind Dylan created the name mostly to protect himself. Yes, that is an obvious clue that Dylan is a man.
Prior to Dylan, his creator was usually considered normal. Maybe a bit sarcastic. The problem was that the trusted few who read his stories would occasionally reply with a version of, "I can't believe that happened to that character." These words were often uttered softly as they backed away slowly.
Considering Dylan's creator is a bit of an introvert, he figured he should attempt to avoid losing friends. The pen name also allowed Dylan to avoid explaining to his boss how he had time to write.
So, Dylan Brand was born. After all, if a writer can invent characters for his books, why not create the person on the book jacket?
Take it from Dylan, you can trust a guy who hides behind a fake name ... And even though his browser history might raise eyebrows, it is only research for his next book.
The mind behind Dylan has worked in business, higher education and healthcare. He has mostly lived on horse ranches and is a sucker for most animals unless they slither. He loved the ocean until he discovered shark tracker, and now he loves the beach.
