A US Customs agent leads a team hunting a twisted serial killer preying upon women in this thriller from a New York Times–bestselling author.
“Nerve-jangling . . . A sort of Silence of the Lambs meets Seven . . . An assault-the senses novel whose energy is guaranteed to hook thrill-seeking readers.” —Booklist
A genius, hairless, seven-foot-tall psychopath, Leonard Land is many people wired into the cyber-subculture of Satanism and Death Metal. He is smart and cunning. He is quick, brutal and deadly. And he is everywhere.
A renegade US Customs agent, a brilliant and beautiful forensic psychologist, and a streetwise convict master hacker are on the trail of the maniac who is methodically slaughtering innocent women—a hunt that is leading a trio of unlikely heroes across an imperiled nation . . . and deep into the darkest corridors of cyberspace.
But there is no system the maniac cannot infiltrate, no secrets he cannot access. He knows he is being hunted . . . and by whom. And he’s determined to strike first—in ways too terrible to anticipate.
