About this audiobook

A chilling new standalone from the world's bestselling thriller writer, perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn and Karin Slaughter.

Gracie 'Bulldog' Bronte doesn't shy away from serial killers.

As one of New York's most famous investigative journalists, she's built a career dissecting notorious murder cases from a safe distance.

But a masked serial killer she dubs Traveler has decided it’s time for Gracie to be part of the story.

With bodies appearing across the country, Gracie teams up with ex-NYPD detective Christian Walshe and a close-knit group of operatives to hunt a killer who thrives on the art of performance and playing psychological games.

But Traveler is watching Gracie. Taunting her. Forcing her into a public duel where every move risks another life.

How far is she willing to go to catch the ultimate killer?

'Gracie Bronte aka BULLDOG is sharp-witted and superbly capable but not even she can anticipate the shocking twists coming her way. Patterson and Lupica are a killer team. Another mesmerizing read from a legendary storyteller.' - Karin Slaughter, bestselling author of the Will Trent series.
