Publisher's Synopsis
Dr Lucas Madden first gained global recognition for cloning the ripper gene and showing its dysfunction in the brains of psychopaths. Later, as an FBI profiler, he achieved further notoriety by sequencing the DNA of the world's most notorious serial killers and proposing a controversial 'damnation algorithm' that could predict such behaviour using DNA alone. Now, a new murderer is terrorising women in the Mississippi Delta. When Madden's former fiancee is kidnapped, he must track down a killer who is always two steps ahead of him. Only by entering the killer's mind will he ultimately understand the twisted and terrifying rationale behind the murders - and have a chance at ending the psychopath's reign of terror.
