Baltimore Police Detective Kev Dixit is being stalked by a psychopath. He's also saving lives and solving crimes. And he's late for dinner.
Dixit temporarily heads the Criminal Investigation Division, a real stress inducer. Aided by humorless partners and eccentric high school friends, he investigates two vexing cases. Spouses are found shot to death in their home. Murder-suicide is the obvious call, considering one spouse had just cleaned out the couple's joint accounts the day before. But all is not as it seems when Forensics takes a closer look at the victims' DNA. Later, Dixit and his assigned mentee investigate a car bombing. What kind of person would viciously murder a likeable gym rat?
Oh, and that murder-suicide. It reminded Dixit of an earlier investigation, back when he was a mere newbie detective. One where he worked tirelessly to solve a string of increasingly vicious serial attacks on single women. One where he barely escaped with his life.

Readers' Choice Book Awards - Five Stars
As a police procedural, this patiently crafted thriller is methodical in its investigative storytelling and slow-burn character development . . .
