This killer wants a baby. And they'll do anything to get one. DI Phil Brennan of Colchester Major Crime has seen his share of horrors. But this crime scene will haunt him forever.

The killer took the baby because they wanted him alive. For now . . . It's up to Detective Brennan to hunt for the killer, and save an innocent new life before it's too late-but he can't do it alone. Brennan needs the help of Marina Esposito. She's the most brilliant profiler he knows, and the only one who can get under the skin of this twisted killer. Even if she is his ex-lover . . .
