Death always strikes on time.
Each time he strikes, he takes two victims. He waits for the first victim to be discovered—a body containing all the clues investigators need to find the second victim, who counts the seconds to a slow but certain death.
Now two girls have disappeared and the deadly countdown begins again. Rookie FBI agent Kimberly Quincy knows that the killer’s deadline can be met—but she’ll have to break some rules to do it. Joining forces with her father, renowned FBI profiler Pierce Quincy, and his partner, Rainie Conner, Kimberly will begin a dangerous hunt for a predator like none she’s ever seen.
He’s had five years to perfect his game. Now the clock is ticking. For his victims and for Kimberly . . .
Time's up.

Moved slow
Amazing research. Moved slow though but one hell of a story. Stick with it.
Loved this
A great read, that never slows. Loved this story!
A bit trite
Ok mystery but the relationship between main characters was a bit trite and it was annoying that he constantly referred to her as Honey and Sweetheart when they were originally working together.
