"Hope makes you stupid, Mary. Don't hope for me."
Ray Ranaldo is a criminal psychologist who's made a career out of understanding monsters.
But when a new case forces him into a game of psychological cat-and-mouse with a killer who seems to know him too well, Ray discovers that the real danger isn't behind bars.
It's standing quietly beside him - in the form of Mary Whitmore, the one woman who sees past his armor, and the one weakness he can't afford.
As obsession tightens its grip and secrets claw to the surface, Ray will have to decide:
Will he protect Mary at all costs - or will the darkness he's chased for years finally pull him under?
