Book ID/图书代码： 14780011B45043

English Summary/英文概要： Dr. Claire Waters, the centerpiece of these novels, understands what motivates violent criminals, and she tries to prevent them from committing further crimes. She is haunted by a childhood brush with a vicious crime that was never solved—the abduction of her best friend. When she takes on her first serial killer case, she must confront her own fears. She meets with Todd Quimby in the bowels of Rikers Island Prison, and sets out to crack his tough exterior, but she overlooks his violent nature and recommends his release. Within 24 hours, Claire is horrified to realize that the body of a murdered woman in Times Square bears all the hallmarks of a Quimby victim. The killer taunts, her supervisors doubt her, the cops resent her, and her boyfriend questions her loyalty. Determined and daring, Claire agrees to be a decoy. Risking everything, Claire uncovers a devious medical conspiracy that threatens to disrupt the international balance of power. She must confront both a killer and a conspiracy…or die trying.
