📚 Book 3 of a completed 4-book series
When a string of impossible murders rocks Las Vegas—each one committed in plain sight yet captured by no camera—Cassie Hobbes and her team of gifted profilers are called in to crack the case. The killer's signature is as mysterious as their methods: cryptic numbers tattooed on every victim's wrist that hold the key to understanding why these murders happened at all. As Cassie races to decode the pattern, a long-buried lead in her own mother's unsolved case suddenly resurfaces, forcing her to confront the ghosts she's been running from. With personal stakes colliding dangerously with the investigation, the team faces questions that might not have clean answers—and choices that could change everything.
