Summary

By the time you read this, I’ll be dead, but what I’ve set into motion will only be beginning.

The first blast takes out an actor from a string of famous coffee commercials. A plain cardboard box in the mail blows when he opens it—pumps hot nails through his face.

So begins the series of mail bombs that beckons FBI profiler Violet Darger to New York.

The bomber's plan is meticulous—an ever-growing spectacle of gruesome violence meant to spread his cryptic message piece by piece. And the clock is ticking.

Starting at midnight tonight, a bomb will go off roughly every eight hours, and a target will be neutralized.

The bomber has left chunks of his journal throughout the city. These not only articulate his twisted message, they contain clues about the bombs.

Clues for names. Clues for places.

Everything law enforcement needs to locate and disarm one of the bombs is there...if they can find it in time.

It's a race against the clock.

Understanding the bomber's psychology could be the key to deciphering the codes and riddles, the key to saving lives.

Darger faces a threat on a scale unlike anything she's encountered so far. If she doesn't solve the clues in time, thousands will die.

Let the countdown begin.

The novels in the Violet Darger series can be listened to as stand-alones. Scroll up, and grab it now.

A great book very well read.

Another great Darger book by the great writing team of Tim McBain and LT Vargus.
The duo of Darger and Loshak are called from the FBI behavioural sciences HQ to assist identifying and apprehending of another serial killer who is taking inspiration from famous serial killers from the past.
The case turns out to be much trickier and more dangerous than first thought.
The narrator, Natalie Naudus, did an excellent job of bringing the characters to life and making me believe the story was true with all its twists, turns, suspense and sadness.
A good job well done by all three concerned.
