SYNOPSIS:
She’s
not evil, but she has certain. . . urges.
Lane
is a typical teenager. Loving family. Good grades. Afterschool job at the local
animal hospital. Martial arts enthusiast. But her secret obsession is studying
serial killers. She understands them, knows what makes them tick.
Why?
Because
she might be one herself.
Lane
channels her dark impulses by hunting criminals—delivering justice when the law
fails. The vigilantism stops shy of murder. But with each visceral rush the
line of self-control blurs.
And
then a young preschool teacher goes missing. Only to return. . . in parts.
When
Lane excitedly gets involved in the hunt for “the Decapitator,” the vicious
serial murderer that has come to her hometown, she gets dangerously caught up
in a web of lies about her birth dad and her own dark past. And once the
Decapitator contacts Lane directly, Lane knows she is no longer invisible or
safe. Now she needs to use her unique talents to find the true killer’s
identity before she—or someone she loves—becomes the next victim.
