Investigative reporter Reese Decody possesses a chilling gift—the ability to sense buried guilt in others. This unwanted talent led her straight to Stephen Thorne, the notorious Trifecta Killer. But hunting monsters has consequences, and Reese barely survived her encounter with the sadistic predator who made her his only living victim.
