Martin Benedetti, detective commander for the Naperville, Illinois, sheriff's office, is no stranger to ruthless killers. Two years ago Marty and local police detective Emily Thompson solved a particularly brutal case of serial murder. But this time it's different. This time, the carnage that has been wrought is only the horrific prelude to another more shocking act of evil—an act that will strike at the heart of everything Marty cherishes most.
"The first chapter is as good as or better than any novel you will read this summer. Shane Gericke has an eye for detail and this opening scene is cinematic."
