A killer leaves a deadly wake in Sacramento.
Ian's son Brandon, the city's newest homicide recruit, believes the murders follow a pattern: the perpetrator prefers blunt force to bullets. The results are chillingly familiar to his father's methods.
Ian thinks the tally belongs to a young assassin he helped train. If he's right, Brandon doesn't stand a chance.
The third installment of this bestselling series asks if blood truly does rise above all else.
