The nightmare of 9/11 left New York City medical examiner Edward Jenner shattered and emotionally scarred. He thought he'd turned away from forensicsβand lifeβfor good, but the mutilation murder of a college student is pulling him back. The body of a young woman, nailed to the wall of her East Village apartment, has Jenner convinced that there's a serial killer prowling the cityβand a second horrific murder only confirms his most terrible fears. The desperate hunt for a psychopathβand Jenner's troubling obsession with a beautiful, frightened woman who could be the maniac's next victimβis pushing the forensic expert to the limits of his physical and mental endurance.
But as the shadows deepen it gets harder to tell who is the hunter and who is the prey. And which one will live . . . and who will die.
