<p>When Dub Walker&rsquo;s close friend Sheriff Mike Savage becomes the victim of a gruesome murder, the forensic expert is called upon to track down the serial killer who&rsquo;s been terrorizing the county. Having been involved in more than 100 cases of foul play and witnessed the bloody remains of rape, torture, and unthinkable mutilation, Dub thought he had seen it all&mdash;yet the killer is unlike any murderer Dub has ever encountered. Vacillating between wildly divergent personalities fueled by post-traumatic stress disorder&mdash;at times calm, cold, and calculating; at others maniacal and out of control&mdash;the psychopath taunts, threatens, and outmaneuvers Dub at every turn. The stakes are suddenly elevated as Dub uncovers a deadly conspiracy tainted with unrestrained greed, corruption, and ties to the military establishment and the medical community.</p>
