BLURB

Dr. Dylan Reinhart and Detective Elizabeth Needham–now known to the top-rated CBS show viewers–are working together to avoid the worst plot against New York City since 9/11.

An Ivy League professor’s murder forces Dr. Dylan Reinhart out of his ivory tower and into New York streets where he encounters his old partner, Detective Elizabeth Needham. As the city has been struck by the worst act of terror since 9/11, a name on the casualty list shakes the world of Dylan. Is he about to expose his secret past?

Elizabeth Needham does something brave as the terrorist attack unfolds which thrusts her into the media spotlight. She is a character that is hesitant. So it also becomes a prime target for the ruthless assassin behind the attack, thanks to the publicity.

Literally, Dylan wrote the book on murder psychology, and he and Elizabeth have solved cases that have confused conventional detectives. But this time, the sociopath we encounter is the opposite of a case of a textbook. There’s no time for the test he’s going to give them to study. And if they fail, they’re going to die.
