Her body lies broken and discarded, the first of many.
Rookie FBI agent Violet Darger faces the case of her career when a brutal serial killer turns a quiet Midwest town into his hunting ground. Each discovery is more shocking: a dismembered corpse in a grease dumpster, another dumped near a roller rink, and more to come if Darger can’t stop him.
Aggressive and calculated, the killer taunts investigators with his gruesome displays, leaving little evidence and unreliable witnesses. As the rural community spirals into fear, Violet must untangle a web of dark secrets and twisting clues to uncover his identity.
With time running out, the killer watches the nightly news, savoring every move. Can Violet outwit him before he claims his next victim?
