In New York Times bestselling author Bryan Reardon's captivating
thriller, a dejected filmmaker lets his curiosity get the best of him
and plunges into a web of depravity and danger from which there might be
no escape.
Theo Snyder is at the end of his rope. One minute he was on top of the
world, his documentary film The Basement a massive critical and
commercial hit, the next crestfallen when his latest film was canceled
after an embarrassingly public misstep. As his desperation grows, he
makes a bold decision: to pursue the story of the notorious Halo Killer,
Jasper Ross-Johnson. But delving into the life and mind of a serial
killer could prove more deadly than Theo ever could have imagined.
At first, things are looking up. Jasper is willing to talk, the footage
of the jailhouse meetings is spectacular, and famed investigator Zora
Neale Monroe joins him on the project. Theo is sure he's getting close
to something no one else has discovered: the truth about why Jasper was
captured before he could kill his final victim. Someone else was on the
beach that day, someone who knows a lot more than they're telling and
just might know how it all happened. The truth could lead to more
killing--unless Theo can uncover the real ending to the story of the
Halo Killer first.
