(The third book in the Briar Calloway FBI Mystery series)
A novel by

 
 
While a sadistic predator turns wealthy mansions into slaughterhouses, Briar Calloway faces a terrifying reality: her serial killer husband has broken out of prison, not to kill her, but to help her hunt the competition.

FBI Agent Briar Calloway’s life is built on a single, terrifying achievement: she put her husband, the notorious serial killer Adrian Calloway, on death row. But when the sirens wail at the Supermax and Adrian vanishes from his cell, Briar’s fragile peace shatters. She isn't just the hunter anymore—she’s the Bureau’s prime suspect.

But Adrian hasn't fled the country. He’s in D.C., watching, waiting, and leaving twisted breadcrumbs for Briar. He isn't the one killing—someone else is. A brutal new predator is slaughtering families in their homes, a "Goldilocks" killer who uses their own possessions to end them. And Adrian is offended by the amateur’s lack of artistry.

Caught between a vengeful Internal Affairs director hellbent on proving her guilt and a husband who views murder as a love language, Briar is forced into a deadly game. Adrian offers a trade: he’ll turn himself in, but only if she solves his riddle and catches the new killer first.

To clear her name, Briar must enter the mind of the monster she married to hunt the monster she doesn't know—before she becomes the final trophy.

He didn’t escape to kill. He escaped to play.
