Little did she know that someone was watching her every move. A killer, insidious as a spider, watched young Shelby through the lens of her laptop.
He watched. He recorded. He shared. Finally, he killed. Shelby was not his first victim, nor would she be his last.
Jeri Forbes and Ethan Barnes, of EJB Global, learned of Shelby’s killer through a program designed to spot kills similar to those of an old nemesis, Howard Anson. As one of Anson’s watchers, Graham Grant learned his trade from the best, and most evil, serial killer on the books.

With little to go on, tracking the killer is difficult, at best, as he chooses his victims from a three-state pool. Jeri and Ethan soon realize that he is targeting the same woman, over and over again. If only they knew her identity.
Dive deep into the mind, and heart, of a serial killer, obsessed with his past and the destruction of one he loves most.
