What if a predator becomes the prey? What if a hunter has eyes on your child?

In a twisted game of cat and mouse, Detective Madison Chase must outwit a serial killer targeting sex offenders—before her own daughter becomes the next victim.

October in Fort Worth takes on a sinister hue for Penny Grimes. She's not just a vigilante; she's a poetic executioner, leaving headless pedophiles as her gruesome calling cards. Each murder scene is adorned with a chilling rhyme, taunting the police and, in particular, haunting veteran homicide detective Madison Chase.

But Penny has a darker agenda. She's set her sights on Chase's daughter, Emily—a blonde, blue-eyed four-year-old, living image of the child Penny has always yearned for. Unbeknownst to Chase, while she's hot on the trail of Fort Worth's most elusive serial killer, Penny is plotting to kidnap Emily.

In a pulse-pounding race against time, Madison Chase must navigate a maze of deceit, vengeance, and dark motives. Can she apprehend Fort Worth's deadliest killer before her family is torn apart forever?

The stakes have never been higher.

About the Book

Detective Madison Chase pushed the car door open and slid out. When she spotted the headless body mounted on a horse, her face paled and her mouth gaped open like a fish on a hook. “Oh shit!”

Chase felt herself go cold. The horror mounted on a horse made all the gruesome evidence she’d seen afflicted by killers seem almost pedestrian. This was a new kind of madness. She shook off her revulsion and concentrated on finding facts; that’s how she would catch this monster. 

Feeling a tap on her shoulder, Chase turned and looked into the head-shaking face of her partner, Terry Wise. “Hey.”

“Just got here.” He stopped dead in his tracks. “Jesus Christ, can you believe this?” 

“Yep. Somebody just brought an old story to life.”
