An invisible killer with a 100% success rate. No one is safe. Not even those
closest to Washington Poe . . .
A shooting at Gretna Green. A bride is murdered on her wedding day, seconds
after she slips on her new ring. It's brutal and bloody but she isn't the first
victim and she won't be the last. With the body count now at 17, people are
terrified, not knowing where the sniper will strike next.
With the nation in a state of panic, the police are at a loss and turn to
Washington Poe and Tilly Bradshaw - the only team who just might be able to
track down a serial killer following no discernible pattern and with the whole
country as his personal hunting ground. Can Poe and Tilly stop an unstoppable
assassin, who never misses his mark and never makes a mistake? Or will he find
them before they find him...
