A remorseless killer. A string of innocent,
clean-cut victims. Detectives M.C. Riggio and Kitt Lundgren
must race against a cold-blooded predator who moves at
breakneck speed in this heart-pounding thriller from New
York Times bestselling author Erica Spindler.
Hot on
the heels of their last case, partners Mary Catherine (M.C.)
Riggio and Kitt Lundgren, detectives in the police
department's Violent Crimes Bureau in industrial,
blue-collar Rockford, Illinois, are called out to a college
student’s apartment where a young man with no criminal
record, not even a noise complaint from his neighbors,
appears to have been murdered in his sleep.
The trail
seems cold, until another victim turns up, and then another…
each one striking closer to home for M.C. The growing list
of seemingly emotionless kills leaves M.C. and Kitt little
to follow—like the first victim, all the targets are young
adults, kid-next-door types who’ve never taken a step
outside the law. Meanwhile, the case starts to take its toll
on M.C.’s personal life, setting her on edge with her
partner and putting their hard-earned friendship in
jeopardy. As M.C. and Kitt hunt a faceless killer, they are
led deep into the cyberuniverse, where no one is who he
seems and you never know who's watching. At the heart of
this mesmerizing thriller is the relationship between two
headstrong women as they struggle to balance their dual
roles, to learn to trust, and to walk the fine line between
upholding the law—and taking it into their own hands.
