Description
Death comes in threes.
Albuquerque is New Mexico's city of enchantment. But an unresolved bloody past haunts the people of this city of half a million. For two years a killer lay silent. Now the signature killings of the Boulder Hill killer have started anew.
For police lieutenant Dakota Blackwood, an Apache who rose to prominence in the Albuquerque Police Department, the discovery of Angela Janine Walker's body rekindles images of the killer's previous spree. This latest horror serves as a painful reminder of Blackwood's earlier failure to stop the menace.
The clock has started. Two more will die if the Boulder Hill killer lives up to his previous pattern. This time the killer taunts Dakota to retake the playing field. This high stakes, ruthless game has resumed. But another bitter struggle consumes Dakota's life: while one monster slowly destroys the woman he loves, another selects nameless victims to die.
