Former FBI agent Sam Delvecchio brings the keen skills of a
profiler to his new position as a Mercy Street Foundation
operative–and not a moment too soon. His first assignment,
the cold-case murder of a local soup kitchen volunteer, has
all the telltale signs of a serial killer’s work.
That grim
suspicion is confirmed when FBI agent Fiona Summers shares
the details of two other killings with eerie similarities
to Sam’s case: The bodies in all three cases have been
carefully posed. And when a fourth victim is discovered,
the two investigators realize they’re pursuing the same
twisted quarry.
Local parish priest Kevin Burch, Mercy Street founder
Robert Magellan’s cousin, recognizes the posings for what
they are: The killer is staging the church’s seven Acts of
Mercy (“Feed the hungry, clothe the naked . . .”) with the
bodies of his victims. But as Sam and Fiona race to prevent
the final three murders, taunting messages from their
target lead to the most chilling realization of all.
