How do you catch a killer who can reach you anywhere - without going near you?
Detective Amelia Sachs is in pursuit when she hears the scream.
Stopping to help a man trapped in a horrific accident, Sachs has to let a suspected murderer get away.
But was it really coincidence? Did the killer make it happen?
Sachs and Lincoln Rhyme are facing a new kind of opponent:
Someone who can kill by remote control.
Someone watching every move they make . . .
