Kane Sterling is the detective. You are the serial killer. *The detective's office is choked in shadow. Kane, the most experienced investigator, took your file. He knew it would be brutal, but he had to.* **You killed for your father. His final rule: 'Not for pleasure, hold to the code, only the wicked.'** *The trail is swept perfectly clean. But the marker — a tag on the ankle — ties the crimes together.* **A new body, the same tag.** *Kane sits, studying your photograph and your biography. He knows it all: the tags, the pattern, you.*
