A thoroughly shocking, riveting, and startlingly inventive thriller from a chilling new voice.
Nathan Stiedowe is seeking perfection -- and he has been learning from the best. Recreating some of the most sickening murders in history, his objective appears chillingly simple, but his true motive remains unclear.
On the trail of this sadistic monster is FBI Special Agent Dana Whitestone.
Driven by the brutal childhood slaying of her parents, Dana's relentless pursuit of the most evil and twisted criminals has seen her profile many violent cases. But never has she encountered a maniac as demented as Stiedowe, or a mind as horrifyingly disturbed.

—Cody Mcfadyen
"Very well written and Osborne seems very comfortable in his writing style and writes like a seasoned professional."
