Former FBI Special Agent Sloane Burbank has survived a life-
threatening injury sustained in the line of duty, only to
face leaving a job she loves in order to recuperate. As an
independent consultant, she now uses her specialized skills
to train law enforcement and private organizations in
crisis resolution. But when one of her closest childhood
friends mysteriously disappears, and the woman's
devastated parents beg for her help, Sloane takes the
case - even though her ex-lover Derek Parker is the FBI
agent in charge.
Special Agent Derek Parker, now assigned to the Asian
Criminal Enterprise Task Force in the FBI's New York
Field Office, has no time to spare for a year-old case he
sees as a dead end - especially since it would mean working
with a woman he never expected to see again. He's
pursuing the leader of a Chinese gang and trying to solve a
series of grizzly murders in Chinatown, so he initially
offers Sloane the case files and minimal cooperation.
But as more women disappear and others turn up brutally
murdered, Derek's priorities shift, and he and Sloane
come to the sickening realization that these random crimes
are linked to the same crazed killer. No one can
anticipate when he will strike again, but when Sloane
becomes the target of his twisted obsession, it becomes
clear that his ultimate fantasy is even more psychotic than
either of them ever imagined.
