Synopses & Reviews
Special Agent Drew Cady has waved goodbye to Washington, D.C., and ten years of chasing violent felons in the Federal Bureau of Investigations Criminal Investigative Division (CID).
He is on the mend, both physically and emotionally, as he helps run his fiancées resort in northern Minnesota while working part-time on the FBIs Medicare Fraud Strike Force in Minneapolis. Chasing white collar criminals is a far cry from hunting serial killers and Cady basks in the glow of his newer, more laid-back lifestyle, that is, until a young womans body possessing a most-disturbing characteristic is pulled from Lake Superior outside of Duluth. And if being ordered to investigate this case isnt bad enough, Cadys former bossAssistant Director of CID Roland Jundhas killed a fellow agent and stands accused of being a spy.
Now Agent Cady must draw upon every last bit of experience he has to clear his friends name while at the same time ensuring that no more innocent lives are extinguished by a sadistic killer with a taste for blood. But nobody is who they appear to be and information is only as reliable as its source.
