John J. Segreto’s first novel is an intriguing and entertaining psychological thriller. This unusually suspenseful story centers on a brilliant criminal psychologist, Dr. Helen Kingsley, and her nemesis, a killer in the nation’s capital, whose murders include a number of White House correspondents and members of the foreign press corps. Is the murderer a serial killer or an international terrorist? In light of an upcoming series of peace meetings to be held in the capital, the president, the attorney general and the director of the FBI agree to bring in a famed criminal investigator. But when the celebrated investigator dies unexpectedly, the terms of his will bring together three people—his close friend and former FBI director, his cousin, a writer, and his protégée, a criminal psychologist—their mission to continue his work and solve the case.
