Publisher's Synopsis
"[Lisa] Gardner keeps us guessing till the end!"-Los Angeles Times
Death always strikes on time.
Each time he strikes, he takes two victims. He waits for the first victim to be discovered-a body containing all the clues investigators need to find the second victim, who counts the seconds to a slow but certain death.
Now two girls have disappeared and the deadly countdown begins again. Rookie FBI agent Kimberly Quincy knows that the killer's deadline can be met-but she'll have to break some rules to do it. Joining forces with her father, renowned FBI profiler Pierce Quincy, and his partner, Rainie Conner, Kimberly will begin a dangerous hunt for a predator like none she's ever seen.
He's had five years to perfect his game. Now the clock is ticking. For his victims and for Kimberly . . .
Time's up.
