This is a very well written, well-plotted book that is hard to put down.
Charlie Stone is a psychologist who works with people with addiction. She also wants to become a profiler with the Huntsville, Alabama, Police Department. This is her first case. A man has been murdered, tortured, and sexually mutilated. Detective Ryan Roberts guides her through her first crime scene. Soon there is a second victim and a third. Charlie finds herself attracted to Ryan as they work together but is leary of getting involved with a co-worker. She is also recently divorced and still dealing with the trauma that entailed. Charlie has to deal with sexism and skepticism from the police department and increasing emotional demands on her from her patients and her new relationship with Ryan.
