With the discovery of a family friend's body on display in a park, a rookie detective sees a terrifying pattern. The only thing she's sure of? More women will die, if she can't get others to see it too.
Tanvi Nightingale may be a rookie but her instincts are spot on. A serial killer is terrorizing Indianapolis. Her boss can't see the connections even as Tanvi falls down the rabbit hole. Desperate to prove herself, Tanvi finds an unexpected ally. Former FBI profiler, Frank Tench.
While Frank sees more than enough evidence to warrant a full investigation, his contact at the BAU remains unconvinced. Instead of a team, she sends in a single hothead agent.
Boston Native, Lucas McGinn is used to getting under people's skin. You could even say it's his calling. But with Tanvi it's different. She's getting under his. And it has a tendency to bring out the worst in him.
Despite their unspoken attraction, Tanvi and Lucas are like oil and water. It's all Frank can do to keep them working together. The more they investigate, the harder the clues are to read.
With the capture of a suspect, who all but confesses, Tanvi thinks this case is over. Until executing a routine search warrant leaves Lucas and Tanvi trapped. In the time it takes Frank to free them a kiss changes everything.
Lucas and Tanvi quickly realize they're just pawns in his sick game and the end is nowhere in sight. Desperate to keep Tanvi and her family safe, Lucas will do anything to put the killers behind bars. Even if it means sacrificing himself.
Can Lucas and Tanvi get out unscathed? Is death the worst that can happen to them?
