As a cop, Jack Carpenter believed in justice, and sometimes that didn't always coincide perfectly with following the law. Now, as a specialist called in when people disappear, he struggles to overcome his reputation as a bad cop. He needed to save his marriage and get right in his own head.

Jack's gift is finding people. But when he's on the trail of a killer who plays "Midnight Rambler" as he kills women, the convoluted path leads him everywhere but to the truth. As he struggles to put his personal life back together and regain the trust of his cop brethren, Jack starts seeing the small pieces that build to create the whole. He will catch the man who has cold-bloodedly murdered so many women -- but maybe not before he kills again.

This eerie, chilling book by James Swain will pester your dreams for weeks. You might even need a night light! Swain gives us a hero who isn't completely heroic, a killer who is utterly soulless and a story that will make you sweat. What a gift!
