Publisher's Summary:
Yoko Tanaka is one of the best profilers in the FBI. She's been called in to consult on the case of 'Valentino', a killer who steals his victims' hearts.
Within 24 hours they have a suspect in custody - a 19-year-old called Jefferson Winter whose IQ is off the charts. Not only does he confess to the murders, he knows details of the crimes that only the killer could know. It's an open-and-shut case, or is it?
Critic Reviews:
"A brilliant, conflicted profiler." (Stephen Fry)
Members Reviews:
Younger! Still awesome!
A fun read. Jefferson Winter is a charismatic and very entertaining character and here we get a glimpse of him in his arrogant youth. He's got a smart, quick mind and an even smarter mouth and is always one step ahead of anyone else. Carol has Winter's voice down perfectly. He's just a distinct character and Carol writes his younger self, with all the touches of a cocky teenager instead of writing the âsameâ Winter and just stating he's younger. Its a believable teenager Winter and amazing to read if you are a fan of the character. The writing is crisp, the pace good and the plot grabs you from the start. There's a few fun bits, if you read âBroken Dollsâ, like the origin of Winter's Zippo lighter which I thought were pretty cool.
The first part of the story could have moved faster and I thought Tanaka, an FBI agent who is sort of Winter's mentor could have used more âlifeâ but those are minor complaints. Once the âactionâ gets going, and the crime solving starts, things pick up and don't stop until the satisfying conclusion.
The scope of the story of obviously smaller than in a book, and like before I wish more time had been given to Winter instead of so many pages about the somewhat dull, Agent Tanaka but for Winter fans this is a wonderful way to spend an evening. I finished it, wanting more and immediately pre-ordered the next Jefferson Winter, âWatch Meâ. I cant wait until its delivered on the kindle app! Good work, once again, James Carol! Good work!
A Great Quick Read
E Book Novellas are all the rage at present, and as with any books, some work better than others. I like the premise behind these Jefferson Winter ones, going back and showing how he became the profiler he is, and this first novella was a great introduction into a younger Winter. But don't let his age fool you, he's still just as smart as ever, however that doesn't help explain why he's sitting on the wrong side of the table confessing to multiple murders. You'll have to read the book to find out. It's a great read, took me a little over an hour and I enjoyed every minute of it. Looking forward to novella number 2.
Presumed Guilty is a novella prequel to the Jefferson Winter thriller series.

I donât tend to read a lot of crime, but I really enjoyed this. My favourite character is Jefferson Winter. I think this was a great introduction to his character, and I look forward to getting to know him more. I also think Special Agent Yoko Tanaka is an interesting character, and the other detective's nickname made me giggle.
I already have the rest of the series, so Iâm really looking forward to reading more of it in the coming months.
