The bestselling author of "When She Was Bad "and "Twenty-Seven Bones "delivers his fifth nail-biting thriller, featuring FBI agent E. L. Pender as he faces his most terrifying foe to date.

When troubled teen Luke Sweet is left orphaned and homeless, the court ships him off to a treatment program for juvenile delinquents in Humboldt County. Little Luke has a twisted past, though, and when several members of the group turn up dead, he quickly becomes the number one suspect. Agent Pender must track him down before anyone else gets hurt. But when clues about another psycho-killer surface, the case becomes much more dangerous--and deranged--than anyone thought possible.
