Jade Hui is an FBI agent on the way down--until, that is, her supervising agent assigns her a triple-murder investigation. She soon must overcome bureaucratic obstacles to catch a free-roaming, amoral killer who leaves neither pattern nor motive in his wake. Her suspect is not a typical spree killer or psychotic fantasy killer. Born into wealth and privilege, gifted with great intelligence and strength, Charles Wöissell has his own reasons for traveling across America selecting victims. Wöissell intends to burn every bridge left--home, family, safety--for revenge against the one woman who has put herself in his path.
