A haunting case, a reluctant partnership, and a precise target aimed at him.

Two years after the murder of his wife at the hands of the Crucifix Killer, Detective Nate Holmes is certain the serial killer has returned. But as far as the rest of the St. Louis Police Department is concerned, the Crucifix Killer is dead, and this new case is just a copycat. Desperate for answers and revenge, Nate throws himself into the investigation only to face another obstacle: His longtime partner has been transferred, and he's assigned a rookie detective, Rachel Watson. The last thing Nate wants is an inexperienced partner when so much is at stake.

Rachel is thrilled to be working alongside one of the department's best detectives but soon realizes her new mentor is broken and bitter. As the two dig deeper into the murder, disturbing links begin to surface--connections between past cases, the new killing, and Nate himself.

When Nate discovers his daughter may be the next target, the investigation becomes even more personal, and he's forced to confront his lapsed faith. Stopping the Crucifix Killer could demand everything he has left--his badge, his soul, and possibly his life.

Adrenaline-inducing and heart-stopping, this Christian suspense thriller packed with action, police investigations, cold cases, ominous clues, and nefarious enemies will captivate readers of Colleen Coble, Terri Blackstock, and Lynette Eason.
