Dana Gray is on the run.
Tormented by fatal failures in her last case, she flees D.C. and the decisions she must make about her future with FBI Agent Jake Shepard.
Agent Shepard is battling his own demons, but when his ex-Army Ranger pal, turned New Orleans Detective, drags Dana into the serial killer case of the century, Shepard disobeys direct orders to keep her safe, putting his career in jeopardy.
Vampires and voodoo queens feel tame compared to the serial killer Dana’s uncovered in the Crescent City. As she delves deeper, she uncovers a chilling pattern that stretches back decades. Each clue only leads to more questions, until she’s in too deep.
As the clock ticks down and the stakes rise, Dana realizes that the only way to outsmart the killer is to embrace the very darkness she has spent a lifetime trying to escape.
With her back against the wall and nowhere left to run, she must summon every ounce of her strength and cunning to outwit a predator who knows her better than she knows herself.
