He's no ordinary kidnapper. Not only does he strike again and again, but he collects the ransom, gets away safely, and leaves his hostage dead. Now after month's o eluding the best law enforcement can put against him, this monster is looking for a new challenge. He's no ordinary cop. Lucas Jordan is a profiler in Noah Bishop's Special Crime Unit. But his uncanny ability to locate missing people comes at a tremendous personal price...and stirs mistrust amoung the hard-nosed cops he's forced to work with. Now in Clayton County, North Carolina, where the latest in a string of kidnapping victims has turned up dead, Lucas, with the aid of carnival psychic Samantha Burk, is doing what he does best: hunt fear. But this time fear is hunting back.
