Will he help find her sister’s killer . . . or lead the killer to her door?

When FBI Agent Kaitlyn Knight discovers her brother-in-law is Vyper—the notorious cyber-criminal and murderer wanted by the FBI—Kait doesn’t question her duty to arrest him. But when he murders her sister in front of her, leaving her infant niece motherless, Kait vows to hunt him down and bring him to justice while raising the baby.

Three years later, and not even a whisper of a lead in her search, Kait is about to give up hope of ever finding Vyper. All of that changes when he goes on a murderous spree taunting Kait with clues that she and homicide detective Sam Murdock must solve before her devious brother-in-law takes another life.

As the body count rises, Sam discovers the killing spree is really about striking back at Kait. He must put everything on the line—including the relationship he’s developed with Kait—to ensure her safety. The killer is waiting, watching her every move—and he won’t stop until he’s exacted his revenge and reclaims his rights to raise his daughter.

Thrilling Ride!

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2017

"Kait Knight met her brother-in-law's piercing black eyes. The façade he'd lived for the last two years peeled away, revealing the cold, harsh eyes of a murderer."

This opening only races faster with suspense from here on out. When FBI Agent Kaitlyn Knight discovers her brother-in-law is Vyper--the notirous cyber criminal and murderer wanted by the FBI---Kait doesn't question her duty to arrest him. But when her murders her sister in front of her, leaving her infant niece motherless, Kait vows to hunt him down and bring him to justice while raising the baby.

Three years later, Kait is about to give up hope of ever finding Vyper. All of that changes when he goes on a murderous spree taunting Kait with clues that she and homicide detective Sam Murdock must solve before her devious brother-in-law takes another life. As the body count rises, Sam discovers the killing spree is really about striking back at Kait. He must put everything on the line, including the relationship he's developed with Kait, to ensure her safety. The killer is waiting, watching her every move, and he won't stop until he's exacted his revenge.

Susan Sleeman knows how to do suspense and do it well. Quite possibly, the best suspense author I've ever read, her books ratchet up the tension and send the reader spiraling, on tenderhooks and gasping for breath, toward the finale. It's hard to put one of her books down to do necessary chores and then you can't wait to get back to it! She writes expertly and excellently. I am a forever fan!

One of my all-time favorite couples - Kait and Sam, Sizzling chemistry and still a clean read!!!

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2016

Web of Deceit is the first book in Sleeman’s new “Agents Under Fire” series and I am hooked!
Kait and Sam are one of my all-time favorite couples. Sleeman created engaging and fun dialogue between the characters. I loved their chemistry. The opening scene grabbed my attention and didn’t let go. The book is gripping, compelling, and intense. Although Sleeman does not give us the gory details of the kidnapping and killings and the cyber-criminal information is very creepy.
Kaitlyn is an FBI agent and trying hard to be a good mom to her niece. She is still searching for her brother in law who killed her sister. Her brother in law, Vyper--the notorious cyber-criminal and murderer. She has had no leads in three years. Clues start to surface about her brother in law and then we have our first murder which is where Sam enters. Sam is a Detective on the Portland Police and had jurisdiction for the murder. I loved the scene when Kait is walking up to Sam at the first murder scene. There is also a very touching scene where she finally tells Sam why she chose the FBI.
I don’t want to ruin any of the story because I highly recommend that you read it and then change your passwords 

Good story and a clean read. I enjoyed it. Another review mentioned consuming alcohol, descriptions of their attraction and the lack of prayer not being realistic for Christians? It's my understanding that this genre is clean (lacking graphic sex, language and violence descriptions) not 'inspirational' so it was spot on.

Enjoyed being back with this author again. Sam and Kaitlyn story was exciting from start to finish. Kaitlyn former brother in law was a real sick guy. Sam and Kaitlyn worked well together. Kaitlyn needed Sams protectivness. Sam needed Kaitlyn and Lily to heal his heart and to be the husband and father they needed. I was so happy when they finally caught Lily dad. Looking forward to Nina and Quinn story sometime soon. I read Becca and Conner story first. So good that Kaitlyn finally had closer to her past.

This book is the beginning of a riveting series. The characters are multifaceted. I appreciate the strong females. I can’t wait to read the others in the series.

They are always gorgeous perfect looking people

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2016

Verified Purchase

Her plots are interesting, and I appreciate that the book is fairly clean, although there is really corny innuendo that is sickening and cliched. I've read a few of her books, and in all of them when the main female character chews on her bottom lip, the result is the same - the main male character starts to get turned on. There are borderline descriptions of them having sexual fantasies for each other. They are always gorgeous perfect looking people, kind of like Barbie and Ken. Lines are overused and repeated across her books to describe such as the guy wanting to tuck the stray hair behind her ear, she chews on her bottom lip etc. It is really bad in the romance area, very unrealistic and no originality. I've read a few of her books and this review applies to all of them. I only enjoy the plots, and the fact that there's no graphic sex scenes although the romantic scenes are somewhat nauseating after a while.

Gripping/Suspense/Chilling and Romance too!

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2016

Verified Purchase

Web of Deceit (Agents Under Fire) - by Susan Sleeman -- Full of suspense! Gripping! Chilling story while still a clean read! Love this story, Susan Sleeman! Good job! Hope to read more. Would love to read more stories with Sam and Kait someday.

If you are a fan of TV's NCIS & similar stories, you will love this one! I do not watch such shows because they are so graphically brutal. I cannot sleep well for days if I watch them. This story is one that I would not read before bedtime or during the night. My imagination can fill in the details too well. BUT, I loved this book as it is well written and keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next. I loved the characters of Kait and Sam. Susan Sleeman does go into some fairly graphic detail regarding how Fenton treats some of his victims. It definitely adds to the "chill" factor of the story. The way she works World of Warcraft into this story is very interesting to say the least. I highly recommend this book. It is more mystery/suspense than romance but it has just enough romance going on.

Please do an Audible for this book!

Swoon worthy books not my cup of tea.

Reviewed in Canada on June 11, 2023

I liked the story line, it was interesting, but overall it was long on hormones/PDAs and short on story. Not my cup of tea. I skipped the bulk of the middle and read the beginning and ending. I've read a dozen or more Susan Sleeman books and don't remember a similar experience so won't give up on her books quite yet.

Edge of the seat suspense

Reviewed in Germany on July 13, 2018

I’m so glad this book was available for a short period of time for free. It doesn’t happen that often anymore I’m able to finish a 200+ pages book within one day which shows how much I loved it!
I have to admit I was a little bit cautious after I noticed how many books this author published with Love Inspired Suspense and those I read I wasn’t much excited about.

Three years after Kait found out her brother-in-law is a cyber-criminal she and her colleagues at the FBI were looking for and he killed her twin-sister in front of her she’s frustrated there’s not a whisper of a lead to find him.

I loved how realistic and candid this novel is. I’m sure there are readers who don’t appreciate the graphic violence and sexual tension between the main characters – I liked the story even more because that’s how life often is.

The novel is fast paced, has interesting characters with great character development and shows enough faults in their relationships to stay realistic
Kait’s mother, boss and her brother-in-law (pretty creepy) were the only characters I didn’t like and I suppose it was even on purpose.

Reviewed in Canada on February 3, 2016

This gave new insight to ways technology is being used by criminals. Some of the stuff that the villain was able to do was scary. Because we know who the villain is almost right from the beginning I didn't feel as drawn into the book and as such I was able to put it down and pick it up later. I felt a bit like Sam when it came to the technology stuff and was glad when the agents explained it for him. You can tell that Susan did her research for these types of crimes. As I got to know the characters more and more I found myself wanting to spend more time with Nina and Quinn, wanting to know what their story was rather than Sam and Kait. Guess I'll have the read the other books in the series to find out about them.
