Si stanno verificando assassinii di preti cattolici in tutta l'America, omicidi ritualizzati che parlano di vendetta e di odio. Mentre il delirio di uccisioni continua in modo imperterrito, diventa presto chiaro a Maggie O'Dell, celebre profiler dell'FBI assegnata al caso, che più di una persona ne è responsabile. Indagando a fondo nella faccenda, lei scopre l'esistenza di un inquietante gioco di ruolo in Internet, per giovani che sono stati vittima di autoritarie figure maschili, preti cattolici inclusi. Seguendo il primo vero indizio nelle indagini, Maggie si chiede se questo gruppo abbia spostato le proprie gesta dal cyberspazio alla realtà, dispensando il proprio marchio di vendetta. E mentre gli omicidi rituali sconvolgono il cuore dell'America, la profiler trova un secondo indizio, un indizio che la lascia pietrificata. Negli ultimi quattro anni è stata guidata dalla determinazione di trovare Padre Michael Keller, il mostro i cui atti di brutalità continuano a perseguitarla. Malato e pazzo, il prete pare essere svanito senza lasciare traccia. Ma con un'ironia che solo la vita può permettersi, ora sembra che sia lui a essere diventato un bersaglio. Quando Keller si offre di aiutare Maggie a risolvere i crimini in cambio di protezione, lei non ha altra scelta che stringere un patto con l'inafferrabile assassino di bambini ed entrare in un mondo di crudeltà e male da cui non potrà tornare indenne.

A cunning psychopath travels from city to city, targeting vulnerable individuals who feel lost and forgotten. As the killer evades detection, the story unfolds with a gripping exploration of the darkness within human nature and the chilling effects of isolation. The narrative delves into the psychological complexities of both the predator and the prey, creating a tense atmosphere that keeps readers on edge.

"It's impossible not to care about and root for the human and canine heroes in Kava's series." --Tracie Hotchner, the Radio Pet Lady Network(TM) "Every time an Alex Kava novel ends, I can't wait for the next one." --Jathan & Heather.com(TM) Secrets are exposed and Ryder Creed's life hangs in the balance in the riveting sixth installment of the award-winning Alex Kava Ryder Creed K-9 mysteries NOTHING STAYS HIDDEN FOREVER... During a training exercise, Creed's scent dog, Grace, is drawn off course and discovers a shallow grave. The body was never meant to be found, hidden deep in an isolated part of Florida's Blackwater River State Forest. The remote area has no easy access in or out. The killer obviously hoped his secret would be scattered and swallowed up by the forces of nature. When Creed's dogs continue to find more remains, investigators quickly realize they're dealing with someone who knows the forest intimately and has been using it to hide his handiwork for years. Soon they'll also discover just how far he's willing to go to stop them and keep his secrets hidden forever.

FBI profiler Maggie O'Dell returns in a sequel that is far from uplifting. The story opens with serial killer Albert Stucky escaping from poorly managed prison guards, leading to an escalation of violence, particularly against women. O'Dell, still haunted by her past encounters with Stucky, is eager to re-engage with the case. However, her new home quickly becomes a scene of horror when a neighbor disappears, leaving behind a gruesome scene, and another is found dead in a Dumpster. As Stucky's threats draw closer, the narrative unfolds with predictable brutality. The supporting characters feel like mere stereotypes, lacking depth, which diminishes the emotional stakes of O'Dell's struggle against Stucky. Her misery is palpable, making it difficult for readers to invest in the outcome of their confrontation. The prose is clichéd, with moments that feel overly dramatic and unoriginal, leading to a sense of fatigue for the audience. While Kava's first book featuring O'Dell received acclaim, this sequel may not attract new readers, despite an extensive promotional campaign aimed at fans.
