While Emmy is breathing down his neck, he seeks to throw everyone off the scent while also monitoring Emmy from afar.

‘Darwin’ is hiding in plain sight, masking his appearance and developing a backstory that will cover any tracks that might be visible.

As the Citizen David investigation heats up, a killer lurks in the shadows, one who has been committing crimes that Emmy is discovering, though no one is yet ready to admit it. Emmy’s fiancé, Harrison ‘Books’ Bookman, has taken a step away from his past with the Feds and is working in a bookstore, trying to keep her from getting too far off the beaten path, though failing miserably. With news leaking to the public through a keen reporter, all eyes turn to Emmy as the one fuelling that fire. For now, Emmy is tasked with helping to crack a case that has the country talking, the nighttime bombings by Citizen David, an anonymous activist trying to representing the ‘little guy’. However, her superiors at the FBI refuse to listen and want her to keep the investigation where it belongs, on the back burner and during her downtime. Seeing links in apparent accidental deaths, Emmy is connecting dots and trying to make a case that a new serial killer is on the loose. Emmy Dockery is back, still licking the wounds after having blown the lid off a serial killer who masked his crimes under the radar, but she refuses to rest. James Patterson collaborates with David Ellis-one of the authors who is able to keep his pieces on track-for this sequel that will chill the reader almost as much as the original piece.
