Day after day, he waited for the first body to be discovered—a body containing all the clues the investigators needed to find the second victim, who waited . . . prey to a slow but certain death.

But she'll have to break some rules to beat an exactingly vicious criminal at a game he's had time to perfect. For the Killing Hour has arrived . . .
