Publisher's summary

FBI profiler Sayer Altair hunts a brilliant serial killer with a dangerous obsession in Caged, a gripping thriller audiobook from debut author Ellison Cooper.

In a residential Washington, D.C., neighborhood, a young woman's body is found in the basement of an abandoned house - starved to death in a cage, along with the video footage of a dark and deadly ritual. The victim is identified as the daughter of a prominent D.C. politician, and it falls to the FBI to track down the unconscionable psychopath who murdered her.

FBI special agent Sayer Altair would rather conduct research on criminality than catch actual criminals. But when she's offered a promotion hinging on her next assignment, she reluctantly accepts the "Cage Killer" case. Taunted by a photo of another victim at the mercy of this vicious killer, Sayer and her team are driven to put an end to these grisly homicides. During the investigation, clues emerge connecting the murders to Sayer's past. Now, the stakes are personal, and the deeper Sayer is drawn into the deadly web, the more she believes she is the only one who can uncover the killer's identity.

Told with devastating detail, shocking twists and unrelenting suspense, Cooper proves her exceptional ability to entertain and enthrall.

Critic reviews

"Caged is a pulse-pounding twisted thrill ride that will keep readers guessing - and plotting revenge - right up to its satisfying conclusion." (Chelsea Cain, New York Times best-selling author)

"A dark and mesmerizing debut. Ellison Cooper channels equal parts Kathy Reichs and Thomas Harris in this fiendishly clever thriller that pits and up and coming FBI agent against an exceptionally cold and calculating killer. You will read till the bitter end... then sleep with the lights on!" (Lisa Gardner, New York Times best-selling author)

good story

I really liked the storyline. The actual writing was a little sophomoric, but good story. The narrator to me sounded very stiff... did not like the narration.

Kept me engaged

I find a lot of books tough to pay attention to, but this was fast paced and kept me interested throughout. Will definitely be interested in other books by this author.

Good book

Enjoyed the story, but found one of the aspects of the crimes difficult to handle as an animal lover. Otherwise, good story and performance. Will be looking to see what other books the author has.

what a wonderful plot twist

wasn't feeling the narration but she did justice to the story. I was on the edge of my seat the entire book. usually I can predict who's the unsub but NOT THIS TIME! This action packed murder mystery is a must read!

Great book!

Had me guessing for quite a while, and that's not easy to do. I would write more, but I can't wait to download the next book in this series...if there is one! Ms. Cooper: well done!

Wish there was another Ellison Cooper Book to buy!

Great book. I love thrillers and this one did not disappoint! I like to be pulled in immediately and this one had me hooked from the start. I usually am able to figure out who did it and was absolutely blindsided by the ending. WORTH the credit!

Predictable but fast paced

Overall, I really liked the book. I liked the fast pace of it and the narrator was wonderful. The outcome was pretty predictable, but I really liked the ending. I like it when there is a clear wrap up and very few things left to wonder about. Quick listen and very enjoyable!
