MMA champ-turned-FBI Special Agent and BAU specialist Dakota Steele is as tough as they come—and as brilliant, too, able to crack serial killers that no one else can. When a new serial killer appears, using dangerous chemicals to murder victims, it’s up to Dakota and her partner to track him down. But this killer is unlike any she’s seen before—and Dakota may just find her own life in danger.
“The plot has many twists and turns, but it is the ending, which I did not see coming at all, that totally defines this book as one of the most riveting that I have read in years.”
