Special Agent Emily Slate has seen her fair share of death ever since joining the FBI. But never anything like this…

Emily’s most recent case brings her to a sleepy New York town to investigate the gruesome death of a fellow FBI agent. Except when she arrives, Emily discovers this was no home invasion gone wrong. This was a calculated kill, undertaken by a disturbed and brutal individual.

As Emily begins her investigation, the trail leads to a local author, who the killer is using as inspiration for his kills; copying details from the author’s books as templates on how to kill his victims. As the bodies pile up and the danger grows ever closer, Emily begins to suspect the author herself may be the killer’s ultimate target.

But just as Emily thinks she has a handle on things, her own husband’s killer surfaces with a warning for Emily. One that will turn everything she knows upside down…

They say the pen is mightier than the sword.
But the blade is far sharper than the pen...
