Across the country, dozens of teenage girls have vanished. Authorities are convinced theyre runaways with just the bad luck of the draw to connect them. Its the job of criminal profilers Dr. Tony Hill and Carol Jordan to look for a pattern. Theyve spent years exploring the psyches of madmen. But sane men kill, too. And when they hide in plain sight, they can be difficult to find...Hes handsome and talented, rich and famous--a notorious charmer with the power to seduce...and the will to destroy. No one can believe what hes capable of. No one can imagine what hes already done. And no one can fathom what hes about to do next. Until one of Hills students is murdered--the first move in a sick and violent game for three players. Now, of all the killers Hill and Jordan have hunted, none has been so ruthless, so terrifyingly clever, and so brilliantly elusive as the killer whos hunting them...
