The gripping and suspenseful search for The Widow Taker continues in this mesmerizing thriller by USA Today Bestselling Author Kennedy Layne... Lincoln Roche has spent most of his career profiling serial killers, and there is one thing he is absolutely certain of—the man arrested for the most recent killing spree in Connecticut doesn’t fit the profile. Evidence soon comes to light to vindicate Linc’s theories, but that only means the tally of victims will begin to rise once again. Quinn Simmons fully believes it was her solemn duty to warn the widows of Winter Heights that a killer is targeting them for the sheer enjoyment of killing the innocent. She never intended to be The Widow Taker’s spokeswoman, but the package she receives clearly states the rules of the game—she must broadcast his messages, or else he will claim yet another victim. Linc has no choice but to work with the reporter responsible for giving this sociopath his desired recognition. His aversion quickly turns to emotions somewhat more intriguing when Quinn becomes the one woman he can’t quite fit into the usual categories. What is she hiding, and why has she become The Widow Taker’s next target? They must now race against the clock to capture a serial killer who sees himself as Quinn’s savior.
