Deadly Night Game

He waits for darkness. He loves to play. And if you lose, you die.

Julia Schwarz is known as the "Ice Lady." A brilliant forensic pathologist, she commands the autopsy room with cold precision, finding comfort among the dead as she tries to outrun the nightmares that haunt her. But her professional detachment shatters when a woman is found brutally tortured-then stuffed into the trunk of a car like trash. Julia throws herself into the hunt, desperate to stop the monster responsible.

When the prime suspect takes his own life, the police consider the case closed. But the dead don't lie. When a second body lands on Julia's table, Detective Florian Kessler suspects a copycat. Julia knows better. The evidence tells a different story-one that points to a signature only she can see.

As she races to decipher the killer's twisted message, Julia realizes the horrifying truth: the investigation isn't over. She's walked straight into a trap. Now she's no longer the hunter. She's a pawn in a psychopath's deadly night game-and he plays for keeps.
