The Darkest Point
The darkest chapter in her life was only the beginning.
Daniel Sykes is one of the most notorious serial killers in the country—a methodical predator who stalked his victims with surgical precision. Former FBI agent Camille Grisham helped put him behind bars.
She believed the nightmare was over.
She was wrong.
When an ambitious true-crime writer secures rare access to Sykes, long-buried threats begin to surface. Cryptic messages. Disturbing connections. Clues that suggest the killings may not have ended with his arrest.
Then, the horrifying truth becomes clear: someone is recreating Sykes’ work.
As new bodies surface and the press frenzy intensifies, Camille is forced back into the psychological battlefield she barely survived. But this time, the enemy isn’t just a man in a cell.
He’s watching. Learning. Adapting. And he believes the original monster left the job unfinished.
To stop a killer who idolizes evil, Camille and Denver PD homicide detective Chloe Sullivan must untangle the truth before the body count rises—and before the past destroys them both.
