Professor Ian Delaney has a theory no university will tolerate: that the human soul can be captured at the moment of death. Fired from his post in Australia after Agirl dies in his home laboratory, he reinvents himself as a Wal-Mart unloader in small-town Illinois, and quietly begins to kill.
Wayne Richardson kills for simpler reasons. His ex-girlfriend walked out. Nobody walks out on Wayne. Now every young brunette in Collinsville is in danger, and the body count is climbing.
When Delaney recognises a fellow predator, he offers Wayne something irresistible: a partnership. Wayne provides the victims. Delaney provides the science. Together they are almost untouchable.
Detective John Barnes suspects the truth. He cannot prove it. And with his superiors ordering the investigation closed, time is running out for the women of Collinsville.
Content warning: This book contains graphic depictions of murder, torture, and sexual violence, including the killing of a child. Reader discretion is advised.
