When the FBI hits a dead end, they are impressed enough by Riley’s keen insight into the killer’s mind to allow her to help.

Yet Riley, needing to battle her own demons, comes on board, and her hunt leads her through the disturbing subculture of doll collectors, into the homes of broken families, and into the darkest canals of the killer’s mind. As Riley peels back the layers, she realizes she is up against a killer more twisted than she could have imagined.
