A WOMAN IS FOUND MURDERED IN THE WOODS. FOR SEAN KING AND MICHELLE MAXWELL, IT HERALDS THE START OF A TERRIBLE NIGHTMARE.

Copycat killer.
In the prosperous town of Wrightsburg, someone is replicating the killing styles of the most infamous murderers of all time.

More than meets the eye.
Ex-Secret Service agents King and Maxwell are hired to investigate a robbery of secret documents at the residence of an incredibly wealthy family. But is the burglary connected to the killing spree?

Who will die next?
Two high school kids and a successful lawyer are then murdered in specific, violent ways. No one knows this serial killer's motives . . . or if there's a pattern to the carnage.

King and Maxwell connect the cases and race to solve an intricate puzzle, one that is full of tantalizing clues but barren of solid evidence, leaving even the FBI confounded. And the body count is rising . . .
