She was always the one who could stare monsters dead in the eye.
Detective Jann Zavian has built her career on sharp instincts, determination, and an uncanny ability to read the darkest of minds. But when a string of grotesque murders leads her to Hendrix Verlice-a man accused of devouring his victims in both body and spirit, Jann finds herself face to face with something far more obscene than madness. The case is simple on paper: a brutal killer, five bodies, three missing federal agents. But what begins as a routine interrogation spirals into a descent she could never have prepared for. In a locked room meant to hold a man like him, Jann learns what it truly means to be prey.

But things start twisting, folding over, and layering in more ways than she could imagine on the first truly interesting night of her 20s; the night somebody makes an attempt on her life, allegedly for his own survival. For once, she isn't handed a dictating statement about her future, but a question. "Will you help me?"Complete
