Publisher's summary

The brutal murders of three young boys paralyze the citizens of Platte City, Nebraska. What's worse is the grim realization that the man recently executed for the crimes was a copycat. When Sheriff Nick Morrelli is called to the scene of another grisly murder, it becomes clear that the real predator is still at large, waiting to kill again. Morrelli understands the urgency of the case terrorizing his community, but it's the experienced eye of FBI criminal profiler Maggie O'Dell that pinpoints the true nature of the evil behind the killings; a revelation made all the more horrific when Morrelli's own nephew goes missing.

Maggie understands something else: the killer is enjoying himself, relishing his ability to stay one step ahead of her, making this case more personal by the hour. Because out there, watching, is a killer with a heart of pure and perfect evil.

Humdrum

The story contained cut-out characters from small town mysteries 101. The book failed to maintain my interest. I am so happy with the $4.95 try the first of a series sale. I only blew 5 bucks on this book.

Boring should be a soap opera...

Okay the plot was a good one, but the author butchered this story, and the love story was so sickingly sweet I wanted to stop... If the author wasn't so worried about writing a LONG DRAWN OUT story it could have been a good one... No great twist and turns in either the murder mystery or the love story so BORING.

Don't get this book!

There is no way any police or FBI group would handle an investigation this way. Don't waste your time reading this. it's lame. Performance is fine. The story has some value otherwise the research towards proper investigation is lacking and frustrating to read.
