About the Daniela Vega series
FBI Special Agent Daniela Vega works the Bureau's Behavioral Analysis Unit, profiling killers whose methods are calculated rather than chaotic. A Killer's Game (2023) -- adapted into a Prime Video film the following year -- pits Vega against a hitman targeting other assassins; A Forgotten Kill (2024) and A Killer's Code (2025) continue the trilogy with further profiler-versus-killer cases.
The series is Isabella Maldonado's third procedural franchise after Veranda Cruz and Nina Guerrera, continuing to draw on her career as a Phoenix police commander, and sits alongside her Sanchez & Heron collaboration with Jeffery Deaver in her current output.
