As a seasoned detective and deputy chief of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, Davenport is no stranger to high-stakes investigations. However, this case proves to be his most challenging yet, as the killer he's hunting is none other than a brilliant and manipulative clinical psychologist named Andrew Zimmer. Zimmer, who has a penchant for playing mind games with his victims before ultimately taking their lives, presents a unique challenge for Davenport. The cat-and-mouse game that ensues between the two is both thrilling and unpredictable, with Sandford expertly building tension and suspense throughout the novel.
