When a young girl is found murdered near a DC memorial, FBI profiler Maggie O'Dell and her partner, R. J. Tully are brought onto the case when it appears there may be a serial killer at large. The victim had attended a rally nearby, led by the leader of a religious cult, suspected of having ties to another case and dubious behavior by him and his inner circle.

I found this story to be stronger than the first two, even though it continues to belabor Maggie's personal issues. I'm finding the suppo ...more

Maybe a 3.5 star read, but it lost points with me for NOT being much about profiling, even though this kind of case was set up so that it might have made sense.

The team was split to go in different directions, unlike the previous book. I found myself really liking Agent Tully, Maggie O'Dell's partner. He is one character I want to follow in future books.

She can't understand, then, why her boss, Assistant Director Cunningham, has assigned her to these two seemingly unrelated crimes. But as Maggie and her partner, Special Agent R. J. Tully, delve into the two cases, they learn that there is a connection between the ...more
