The elite Special Crimes Unit, the FBI’s most controversial
and effective team, is a group of mavericks and misfits
trained to use their unique psychic abilities to hunt the
worst monsters imaginable – human ones. Led by the
enigmatic Noah Bishop, the SCU team has earned a reputation
for pitting their skills and cunning against killers that
other cops fear. But this time Bishop and his agents face
an enemy who has them in his sights, a trained sniper with
a deadly plan — and more than one ace up his sleeve.
It starts with an unspeakable series of grisly murders
across three states, a trail of blood leading, finally, to
the small Tennessee town of Serenade. There, two more
brutal murders lure the SCU into what may be the ultimate
trap.
One of the first investigators on the scene, Special Agent
Hollis Templeton is willing to push herself as hard and as
far as necessary. Risking more than her life to help and
protect her fellow SCU members, Hollis is coping with
psychic abilities that are evolving in unprecedented ways,
an attraction to the most complex man she’s ever known, and
a serial murder investigation that has just turned very,
very personal.
In her time with the SCU, Hollis has shown an uncanny
ability to survive even the most deadly attacks. But what
she doesn’t count on is that this killer intends to destroy
the team from within.
The clock is ticking. The body count is rising. And as
Bishop and his agents race to uncover the identity of their
true enemy, not even their special senses can warn them
just how bloody, and how terrifyingly close, the truth will
be.
