Court reporter Teagan O'Rourke is no stranger to violent crime or sudden death. At age nine, she lost her mother to a car accident. Her father and two stepsiblings are police officers. She spends her days recording the details of horrific crimes in which victims or their families often are forced to relive the worst days of their lives while criminals fight to stay out of prison for committing those crimes. But nothing can prepare her for the sniper rifle blast that takes the life of a young police officer escorting Teagan to the evidence room. In the coming days, she'll receive letters from a serial killer who signs them with fictitious names of killers from novels he somehow knows she's read. As he gets closer and closer to Teagan, she's in a race to stop the carnage before her loved ones are murdered by a man set on revenge. Ultimately, she's the target, and he isn't giving up until he wins the game, setting the stage for a showdown that could cost Teagan everything.
