Washington, DC: Twin brothers are found drowned in a Perspex box, one
gagged and strapped to a chair. It's the latest in a series of cruel and
elaborate murders with two things in common: the killer has left a
family history chart at each crime scene, and the victims all have a
connection to genealogical sleuth Jefferson Tayte.
Hoping his insight and expertise will help solve the case, the FBI
summon Tayte back to the capital. But as he struggles to crack the
clues, the killer strikes again--and again. Tayte is known as the best
in the business, but this time he's up against a genealogical mastermind
who always seems to be one step ahead.
With the clock ticking and the body count rising, Tayte finds himself
racked with guilt, his reputation and career in tatters. The killer is
running rings around him; is it only a matter of time before he comes
for the ultimate target?
This is the sixth book in the Jefferson Tayte Genealogical Mystery
series but can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story.
