Book Synopsis

From bestselling and award-winning author David Ellis

The serial-killer case made his career. The man he prosecuted was long ago executed. But if that man was guilty, who is now copy-catting his crimes, including identical details that were never made public?

Renowned attorney Paul Riley has built a lucrative career based on his famous prosecution of Terry Burgos, a serial killer who followed the lyrics of a violent song to gruesomely murder six girls. Now, fifteen years later, the police are confronted with a new series of murders and mutilations. Riley is the first to realize that the two cases are connected--and that the killer seems to be willing to do anything to keep him involved.

As the murderer's list of victims becomes less random and more personal, Riley finds himself at the center of a police task force assigned to catch the murderer-as both an investigator and a suspect.
