Serial killers, like madness and gravity, just need a small push . . .

The body of a third young woman is discovered in a field outside Pawtucket Falls in New England the day FBI agent and profiler Gus Wheeler and his partner arrive to investigate a string of murders. The killings seem random, yet each victim was last seen in a club in the city's Music Row, a scene Gus is uniquely qualified to navigate.

Camera footage shows the most recent victim flirting with the moody bassist of a popular cover band. Gus knows the former prodigy from his time in the New Orleans jazz scene, but the suspect's memory is hazy, likely due to his rock star lifestyle. Complicating their inquiry, there's no record of any of the victims leaving the clubs—with the bassist or alone. So where were they taken and how?

A serial killer's at work, but as they circle their suspect, the killer strikes first making it personal for Gus. And with time running out, Gus is forced to play a madman’s game.
