ᝰ.ᐟ In the world of ballet, perfection is everything. Beatrice Ashford has spent her entire life chasing it - perfect turns, perfect posture, perfect control. As the star dancer of the New York City Ballet, she is preparing for the biggest performance of her career: the opening night of Odette. But when one of the company's dancers is found brutally murdered inside her dressing room only one day before the premiere, the beauty of the ballet world begins to crack. A message is left behind. A killer is hiding inside the theater. And everyone becomes a suspect. Called to New York, Spencer Reid and the BAU must uncover the truth before the killer strikes again. But the deeper Spencer digs into the world of ballet, obsession, and perfection, the more he realizes that Beatrice Ashford may be closer to the danger than anyone thinks. Because someone is watching her. Someone who believes perfection is worth killing for. And opening night is getting closer.
