No one's talking. But as the killer's perverse motive, stemming from the darkest form of revenge, surfaces one unsettling photo at a time, Danny and Carter understand in an instant they're dealing with a criminal who plays God, devising his own definitions of right and wrong, and inflicting horrific punishments with chilling, religious overtones.And he's also holding a little girl captive.As the case becomes high-profile, the investigation takes Carter into territory that hits dangerously close to home, pushing him beyond his personal limits and drawing him into a disturbingly familiar world connected by child abduction and a past he's worked hard to forget.Meanwhile, Danny finds herself tangled in the knots of a dark, family secret-one with twisted consequences that soon tighten like a noose around her neck-and hunting the killer, whose target shifts onto those closest to Carter, becomes a challenge she can barely face.Carter's very identity is tested as he grapples with issues of conscience and survival in a struggle that pushes him to the very edge of the fine line between cop and criminal, and beyond. He'll need every skill he's learned to defeat his worst nightmare-and the stakes couldn't be higher.
