A PI’s latest case resembles the work of a serial killer presumed dead in this dark crime thriller by the New York Times–bestselling author of Switch.
Some Killers Come Back For More
The killer’s depravity is insatiable. What he does to his victims is unthinkable. Homicide detective turned PI Frank Quinn has seen this M.O. before. A demented ritual, it’s the work of Daniel Danielle—a notorious serial killer who blurs the line between male and female, human and monster. Danielle disappeared ten years ago. Is a copycat repeating the crimes? Or has Danielle made a deadly return? Either way, this time the killing won’t stop . . .
