This novel opens with the first person narration of a killer going after some prey – Spencer is a liar and a cheat, and is about to pay the ultimate price for his behavior – and it will not be an easy death.
Sheriff Bree Taggert is home planning on a movie night with her niece and nephew when the call comes in from dispatch. The body of a homeowner, Spencer Laforge, has just been discovered by his dinner date, and with plastic sheeting found wrapped around the victim’s head, it’s clear that this was not a natural death. As Bree talks to woman who found him, she learns that they had met via a dating app, and that this was their third meeting – and her first time visiting his home. As the investigation commences, including a very stressful notification of Spencer’s brother, Jasper. Bree learns that Spencer was known to move from woman to woman via a dating app geared towards the tech field. A visit to his place of employment also reveals that he had a female stalker of sorts – an individual who is now high on Bree’s potential suspect list.
An interview with the would be stalker, a young woman named Farah, initially yields no significant clues. She reports similar behavior – a few dates, some intimacy and then being dumped by Spencer. She also claims do have an alibi for the night in questions – she was in the company of a friend.
As the team continues to interview potential suspects and interview women who had been involved with the victim, a second killing takes place – but a sinister surprise awaits the team at this scene, with Bree narrowly missing injury. Is this a blatant clue – or an attempt to misdirect the team?
As the situation escalates, Bree & Matt desperately try to identify the killer – meanwhile the killer has set sights on the next victim – and it is someone very close to Bree…
