A Kenzie and Gennaro Novel.
When Boston private investigator Patrick Kenzie meets Karen Nichols, she strikes him as an innocent from a protected upbringing, untouched by tragedy. But six months later when Karen takes her own life, Patrick is left wondering what can alter someone so drastically and so quickly that suicide seems her only option?
Through the final weeks of a stifling summer, and with the help of his ex-partner, Angela Gennaro, and his friend, the lethally unbalanced Bubba Rogowski, Patrick enters into psychological warfare with a brilliant sociopath who, instead of merely killing his victims, prefers to make them wish they were dead. Their game of cat-and-mouse brings them fact to face with the sordid secrets of an affluent family, a brutal mafioso, a cabal of twisted kidnappers and a perilous encounter in the misty dark of a cranberry bog.
As the stakes grown higher and more personal, they find themselves fighting a losing battle with an enemy the law can't touch, who is always one step ahead, who is gradually discovering their weaknesses, their loves, and is determined to tear their world apart.
