By the author of the bestselling The Pardon, this fast-paced novel teams a resourceful FBI agent and an embattled journalist in a hunt for two men — a serial killer and his elusive informant.
A ruthless serial killer ravages the city and a journalist and an FBI agent become entangled in a cat-and-mouse game with a mysterious informer. He claims to be able to predict who is the next victim but wants to be well paid for this information. Is the teller or is he the evil genius he claims to be? And what is actually worse?
When an informer chooses Miami Tribune crime reporter Michael Posten as his conduit, giving him information about murders that haven’t yet taken place, investigators speculate on whether the killer and informer are the same people.
As the newspaper continues to deposit larger sums into the killer’s account, FBI agent Victoria Santos and the reluctant journalist join forces to prevent the next gruesome murder. But then dues stop and the murders continue… until a psychopath makes one mistake too many. This gripping, unpredictable story of revenge will not be soon forgotten.
James Grippando once again sends readers on a spine-tingling trip into the heart of evil.
