A nine-year veteran of the FBI, Special Agent Mia Shields
thinks she's seen it all. But nothing prepares her for the
terror that descends upon the idyllic bayside community of
St. Dennis on Maryland's Eastern Shore, where a depraved
killer has left a grisly surprise for chief of police
Gabriel Beck: the body of an unidentified woman, naked and
completely encased in plastic wrap, stretched across the
backseat of Beck's car. Hidden in the wrapping is a tape
recording of the victim's last, gasping words, terrifying
evidence of the horror endured at the hands of a madman.
Soon the body count begins to rise as more victims are
found, all gruesomely cocooned, their final pleas captured
on tape.
Determined to capture the sadistic killer, Beck and Mia
team up and set a trap—with Mia as bait. But their prey is
closer than they ever could have imagined. Now Beck must
race against time to save Mia from becoming the next victim
of a serial killer as elusive as he is evil...
