"Enclosed are photos and names of five different people. My identity can be found somewhere amongst those five men. Look closely enough, and you may discover who I really am." Those words are included in a letter that the Firebug Killer sends to the police.
In charge of the case is Detective Dylan McClellan. Dylan spent ten years of his life convinced that his father had been a serial killer. He has spent the past ten years wracked with guilt after learning his father was actually innocent. With bodies piling up, and unsure of who to trust, Dylan must once again confront the world of serial killers and find out who is responsible for this latest killing spree. In doing so, he will need to confront his past if he has any hope of making sure more innocent lives aren't ruined.
