A ruthless killer targets Muslim women in New York, leaving behind twisted clues. FBI agent Darby Mars and Imam Musab must unravel a deadly mystery rooted in obsession, revenge, and honor before another innocent life is lost. But can they stop a killer who believes he is justified?
A young woman is found brutally murdered in Central Park. The killer leaves behind no fingerprints and no witnesses. Only cryptic clues that seem to mock both the police and the FBI.
As more women become targets, FBI Special Agent Darby Mars is drawn into a chilling investigation where every victim appears connected by a twisted idea of honor. To unravel the mystery, she teams up with Imam Musab, a reluctant former NYPD Muslim chaplain whose insight into faith and culture may be the only key to understanding a killer who hides behind righteousness.
As the body count rises, Darby and Musab race against time to stop a calculating killer whose next victim may already be marked. To catch him, they must decipher his deadly game before he strikes again.
