Nine days. Three victims. One killer. The first part of a new detective series.
Three days till the next murder. Six days until one of them dies. When police officer Kara Quinn accidentally discovers the body of a young woman, it sets off a wave of chaos and paranoia. The manner of the murder shows the perfectly controlled rage of a psychopath and the profile of the criminal corresponds to the so-called. The triple killer, a serial killer who leaves three victims behind him three days apart before disappearing for three years. And the dead of Liberty Lake marks the start of a new cycle.
A newly formed mobile investigative unit, established by FBI agent Matt Costa to operate in remote areas without sufficient law enforcement coverage, is assigned to the case. But although the special team, reinforced by Kara, is doing its best, the investigation is not going smoothly. They have no witnesses, they have no evidence, but most of all, they have no time. Not only is the next expected murder less than three days away, but if Kara and Matt fail to stop the Triple Killer, in another three it will be the cop's turn - quite possibly one of them.
