A serial killer is stalking Europe, leaving a trail of dismembered bodies across 15 nations. Claudine Carter, Britain's foremost psychological profiler, is assigned by Europol -- the European Union's FBI -- to track down the murderer, using the clues no one else sees. Her partners are a brilliant forensic pathologist and a maverick computer wizard, who team up to stem the rising tide of panic in the continent's most glamourous cities.

Then her identity becomes public, and the tables are turned. In a terrifying game of cat-and-mouse with a madman, it is hard to tell the hunter from the hunted....

Once again, Freemantle stakes his claim as one of the true masters of the thriller.
