Sentinels of the Night: a Tracker Novel
By Anita Dickason
Genre: Paranormal, Thiller
Messengers of Death! They ride the night wind and hear the cries of the dead.
After a deadly shootout in Texas, FBI Tracker Cat Morgan heads to Washington, D.C. and her new position in a newly formed elite unit: Trackers. Hoping for an uneventful trip, her plan goes awry when she stops in Clinton, MS., where she stumbles across a woman’s body with a weird symbol carved on the forehead.
The gruesome discovery triggers a disturbing clash with the local police chief. Kevin Hunter doesn’t like federal agents. He isn’t buying Cat’s ambiguous explanation about how she found the body. Kevin wants her out of his investigation and out of his town. When a second body with the same bizarre symbol turns up, Kevin is forced to accept Cat’s help. A serial killer is using his town as a hunting ground, and the body count is rising.
When the killer fixates on Cat for his perfect sacrifice, even her arcane secrets may not save her.

Review of Sentinels of the Night: a Tracker Novel by Anita Dickason
Sentinels is not your average FBI story, so be prepared to hang on to your book and have your mind blown. A newly created unit, known as The Tracker Unit, is rumored to be very unique, and all of the agents are hand selected by SAC Scott Fleming for their innovative and inexplicable crime-solving skills.
Cat Morgan is an FBI agent with a unique familial inheritance, a rare gift for prescient knowledge, and guidance from a pair of great horned owls. Cat is driving to join her new work group when she is led by the sentient owls to a dumping site for a killer. Cat must report her findings to the local police and find a way to explain the inexplicable, her reason for being at the location and finding the body.
The small town, hunky police chief, Kevin Hunter, isn’t buying Cat’s story or the strong magnetic attraction that they both are feeling. He is not a fan of the FBI and doesn’t want them in his city, not even the hot red-headed agent. But a serial killer has settled in Chief Hunter’s city, and Agent Morgan seems to be part of the solution.
The immediate magnetic attraction between Cat and Kevin is intense but refreshing as it is balanced with respect for each other’s professionalism and skills. The authors’ knowledge of police procedures and practices lends wonderful insight and credibility to this unique approach to crime-solving. This approach takes “gut feeling” and “police intuition” to new levels. I can’t wait to meet the rest of the Tracker team and learn about each agent’s special skills. I hope that Sentinels is the appetizer for many more books involving the FBI Tracker Unit.
