Police Chief Rafe Sullivan faces a nightmare in his quiet town. A killer targets beautiful, successful blonde women, somehow earning their trust before murdering them. The crimes have shattered the peace of a community where such violence seems impossible. Sullivan has no leads and no clues. When the FBI sends Special Agent Isabel Adams to help, she surprises him. Adams is tough, fearless, and psychic. She can get inside the killer's mind, following his obsession with stalking and death. But Adams herself is blonde, making her the perfect target. As she tunes into the murderer's twisted thoughts, she puts herself in deadly danger. Sullivan watches his partner walk deeper into the killer's world, knowing she may have gone too far. The psychopath wants Adams as his ultimate prize. Her intelligence and confidence have kept her alive, but now these same qualities might destroy her. Time runs out as Adams and Sullivan race to stop a monster who kills without mercy.
