After months of hunting the Countdown Killer, crime reporter Janelle Alexander and LAPD detective Jayson Alexander are moving on with their lives. At least that was what Jayson thought Janelle had done. For more than a year, she's continued her search for the one who got away. But the Countdown Killer isn't finished. Frankie Roberts still has a grudge to settle, and Janelle and Jayson are right in the crosshairs. When Jayson is arrested for murder, Janelle finds herself painted into a corner of the serial killer's creation. One calculated "mistake" will bring everything to the surface and have Janelle ready for her own unexpected reaction.
