Synopsis

New York Times bestselling authors Iris Johansen and Roy Johansen team up for another electrifying thriller that pits a serial killer against Kendra Michaels' heightened powers of deduction.

 After scoring a plea deal in a high-profile murder trial, serial killer James Michael Barrett leads a grim parade of law enforcement officers to the body of his last victim. At the alleged burial site, the officers swing their shovels down and are met with a strange metallic sound they weren’t expecting. In a blink, a terrific explosion rocks the woods, killing Barrett and most of the officers instantly.
 The detonation is only the beginning of a shocking case for FBI consultant Kendra Michaels—a string of heinous murders in the style of the very-dead Barrett mysteriously continue, and it becomes clear that he may not have been working alone. As the crimes accelerate, Kendra reluctantly accepts help from college student Tricia Walton, the only survivor of Barrett’s attacks. But the killer has a terrifying plan that Kendra and her team are only beginning to understand.

Goodreads review by Amzette

I really wanted to rate this higher but I was getting really annoyed and frustrated with the stupidity of the women in this book. I’m all for being independent but I just couldn’t take the idiocy of them putting their life on the line! I absolutely love Iris Johansen and I should be used to her hero......more

I'm gonna say it, I'm just going to rip the bandaid off and say it. I don't like Kendra. I love Lynch, I love Olivia, I enjoy Metcalf and Griffin and Tricia, and I even enjoyed Milo. I don't like Kendra. I think she's got a huge chip on her shoulder and treats people terribly. After 10 books, this o......more
