He stood over her looking down at his prey. She looked for all the world like a normal person. But he knew differently. She was chosen to be here at that time, in that place. He knew what he had to do next. She would set an example to others. This was the real start of his work. This was the one he had planned for.

Augustine Boyle feels like he is failing. Failing his team, his career and the victims he has been assigned in his role as a murder detective. He gets another case that looks another in a long line of cases he can't solve. But something about it feels different. Then another victim comes his way and there are similarities at the scene. Suddenly Augustine Boyle and his team are hooked.
