An Ivy League professor lies murdered, dragging Dr. Dylan Reinhart from his academic world back into the dangerous streets of New York. He partners again with Detective Elizabeth Needham just as terrorists unleash the city's worst attack since September 11th. A victim's name on the casualty list threatens to expose Dylan's hidden past. Elizabeth performs a heroic act during the chaos, making her a media sensation and a target for the killer orchestrating the violence. Dylan has authored books on murder psychology, and together he and Elizabeth have cracked cases that stumped other investigators. This time they hunt a sociopath who defies every pattern Dylan knows. The killer tests them with deadly games where failure means death. Their expertise means nothing against an enemy who rewrites the rules.
