Six bodies. One survivor. And the killer's final words that will haunt him forever.
FBI profiler Reid Harper has spent sixteen years hunting monsters—trying to balance an impossible equation. Thirty-seven victims saved. One daughter lost. The math never works.
When six American women are found drowned in Amsterdam's canals, staged with religious symbols and positioned like prayers, Dutch police request his expertise. The pattern is clear. The killer is organized, intelligent, and escalating.
Reid identifies Willem de Vries within days: a canal tour operator with a dead mother, a strict religious upbringing, and a belief that drowning purifies souls. But when Willem kidnaps a seventh victim, Reid faces an impossible choice in Amsterdam's underground tunnels.
He pulls the trigger to save her life.
And Willem, before drowning himself with a smile, whispers the words that will shatter everything Reid believes about his work: "We're the same. We both try to save women who can't be saved. The only difference is you use bullets and I use water."
One woman survives. Six families mourn. And Reid must confront a truth more terrifying than any killer: Willem might have been right.
Perfect for fans of James Patterson's Alex Cross, Lee Child's Jack Reacher, and psychological thrillers that burrow under your skin and refuse to let go.
Genre: Mystery
