For the past six weeks, LAPD detective Matt Jones has been recovering
from the wrong end of a hit man's bullet. Before he can look for
payback, Jones finds himself enlisted in the manhunt for an old foe. Dr.
George Baylor, the serial killer who escaped after murdering three coeds
in LA, resurfaces on the East Coast. This time, an entire family has
been slaughtered in their home outside Philadelphia, and the doctor's
fingerprints are all over the crime scene.
With panic rising, the FBI seeks Jones's help, and the hunt for this
brutal mass killer is on. But so is the hunt for the man who paid to
have Jones shot. When a second family is found murdered, the search for
the killer becomes frantic, and Jones's shocking personal history
explodes before his eyes. With his two missions welded together as one,
Jones enters the madman's world--a place of unimaginable terror--and
hopes that if he survives, he can find his way out.
