The killer learned his shotgun against the car's passanger side, opened the door and reached in. He placed a watch on the young man's wrist... Next he fiddled with the watch that the dead girl was wearing... Over the boy's body he said, "I'm sorry"... Following their collaboration in Split Second, ex-Secret Service agents Sean King and Michella Maxwell have gone into a robbery at the residence of the incredibly waelthy Battle family. It seems like a straightforward case of domestic buglary, but soon they begin to suspect links to larger, more terrifying events shaking the prosperous town of Wrightsburg to its core... The unidentified corpse of an attractive young woman turns up in the woods; two high school kids, one shot in the back, the other in the fcae, are found dead in their car; a successful lawyer is discovered stabbed to death in her home. A serial killer is on the loose. The murderer kills in the manner of famous killers of the past but takes care to leave a stopped watch at the scene. Why? As the killing spree escalates it seems that the fractured Battle family are somewhat involved and Maxwell and King suddenly find themselves raving to solve an intricate puzzle, one that is full of tantalizing clues but barren of solid eveidnece, and one that is leaving even the FBI confunded. And all the while, the body count is rising...
