Perfect for you if...

  • You love crime thrillers with protagonists who clash but complement each other, especially when one follows the rulebook and the other ignores it.
  • You want a tense, plot-driven mystery where the killer's psychology is genuinely unsettling and hard to pin down.
  • You're a Deaver fan or someone who appreciates propulsive procedurals that move fast and don't waste time on padding.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer slow-burn character studies where the relationship between leads develops organically over time.
  • You dislike high-stakes action compressed into tight timeframes, like a 72-hour countdown.
  • You need your killers to have clear, comprehensible motivations that make psychological sense.

About this book

A series of murders sweeps across Southern California, forcing an unlikely pair to decode the patterns of an elusive killer. Carmen Sanchez, a Homeland Security agent who adheres to protocol, discovers her sister has been attacked—a crime connected to the broader murder spree. Realizing standard investigative methods won't suffice, Sanchez turns to Professor Jake Heron, a brilliant private security expert who views rules as optional. Despite their troubled history, Heron agrees to help. Together they pursue a killer with no apparent motive and no conventional criminal profile. Their only leads are a distinctive tattoo and an obsession that earns the perpetrator a nickname: Spider. Over seventy-two hours, Sanchez and Heron engage in a deadly contest with the killer as murders continue to mount and danger escalates. The spider's web of intrigue proves far more complex and sinister than either anticipated.
