FBI Profiler Dr. Kate Hayden has been sent to San Antonio to investigate a murder. The victim was shot while sitting in her car which had broken down along the interstate. A cellphone was left on the passenger seat with a text for Kate. Everything points to this being the work of The Samaritan, a serial killer who has killed five women. The problem is Kate already caught The Samaritan who is awaiting trial. Is it a copycat? Did she arrest the wrong person?

Kate is teamed with San Antonio Homicide Detective Theo Mazur. As they compare this scene to the previous murders, another woman is found murdered. This time the scene resembles murders from another old case that Kate solved a few years ago. Someone is recreating murders from Kate's old cases. It's up to her and Mazur to find the killer.

This is the first book in Mary Burton's Criminal Profiler series. It is billed as romantic suspense, but the book leans hard toward the suspense side which worked for me. This book was a little different because Kate and Mazur figure out who is behind the murders at the mid-point of the book. But surprisingly that really didn't detract from the story. My rating: 4 Stars.
