Part of Lucy Kincaid, book 15
First published 2019
FBI Agent Lucy Kincaid faces her most puzzling case yet. Three bodies have surfaced in San Antonio, each bearing an identical and disturbing signature. The killer operates with clear intent, but Lucy cannot decode the message or identify the intended recipient. Each victim appears to be a devoted family man living an upright life with a loving wife. Beyond their marital status, the men share no obvious connections. Lucy hits dead ends at every turn until she discovers that each widow has been lying to her. The investigation takes a sinister turn as Lucy realizes the case runs far deeper than a simple serial killing. The truth behind these murders threatens not only Lucy's ability to prevent future deaths but potentially her own husband's safety. Lucy must penetrate the deception surrounding these seemingly perfect marriages before the killer strikes again.
