Part of Michael Bennett, book 13
First published 2021
Detective Michael Bennett should be celebrating. His longtime love Mary Catherine is about to become his wife. Instead, he's tracking a monster across three cities. The killer targets young women in New York, Atlanta, and San Francisco. Each victim dies in a uniquely brutal way. The murders follow a pattern that makes Bennett's blood run cold. As his wedding day approaches, the detective realizes he may be walking into more than marriage vows. The killer has made this personal. Bennett must choose between the altar and the chase, between the woman he loves and the innocents who need his protection. The thirteenth case in his career with the NYPD becomes his most dangerous when his private life collides with his deadliest investigation.
