In Book One of the Brent Marks Legal Thriller Series, Kenneth Eade delivers another solid and intricately plotted financial thriller. At its core, "Predatory Kill" is an examination of the chaos and corruption of the 2008 financial crisis, and asks the vital question: “are banks above the law?” A maniacal killer is on the loose. April’s mother is brutally murdered and her father beaten within an inch of his life. Enter Brent Marks. He’s already paid his dues as a lawyer, having taken his share of divorces and drunk driving cases over his 20 year career, but has finally reached a place in his life where he can take on cases of social importance. What he least expected was for April Marsh's predatory lending case against the big banks for wrongful foreclosure on her parent's home to turn into a murder investigation.
