“Taut, compelling…Mary Burton delivers a page-turner.”  –Carla Neggers, New York Times bestselling author

An obsessed killer is blazing a bloody trail near Richmond, Virginia, toward his ultimate prize—and only one homicide detective can hope to stop the madness…
 
The first kill was easy. The second much easier. No guilt, no remorse, just a rush of adrenaline surging through him as each life drains away, and the pleasure of knowing their deaths help his beloved Lindsay. And there are so many more who deserve to die…

And when she spurns his gifts, she and those she loves most become targets of a madman whose rage is growing, who is waiting, watching, closer than she ever feared…
