So Close the Hand of Death

Publisher Synopsis

Across America, the country's most infamous murderers are killing again.

The Boston Strangler has his hands on new victims. The Son of Sam's reign of terror seizes New York. The Zodiac's dreaded signature slashes across San Francisco. The crimes seem unrelated, until Nashville homicide lieutenant Taylor Jackson realizes the chilling truth.

Every killer is following the orders of a single mastermind. And Taylor knows him well.

For years, the elusive murderer known as the Pretender has stalked her from the shadows. Now he's stepped into the light, unleashing an army of copycats while targeting the people she loves. As the investigation unfolds, Taylor discovers the killer has been hiding closer than she imagined. And her fiancé, FBI profiler John Baldwin, has been keeping secrets that threaten the trust they've always relied on.

With time running out, Taylor must stop the Pretender for good—before his gruesome coup de grâce forces her to choose between justice and revenge.
