Three murders within 18 months. Three that Special Agent Rick Clark and forensic psychologist Dr. Marty Robin knew of. How many other women the Bedsheet Serial Killer had raped and murdered was anyone’s guess. This case was definitely beyond the reach of a single police department, and whether the local police force liked it or not, this was a case for the FBI. Clark and Robin would need all of the resources the agency had available to solve it. Marty’s expert knowledge of psychopathic killers was the key to unlocking the case.

This thriller begins with Special Agent Rick Clark recovering from a traumatic loss that has turned his world upside down. Determined to discover the truth behind the grisly murder of his dear friend, he departs for Peru where his key witness has mysteriously fled. With the help of the Peruvian intelligence services and a charming Peruvian special agent, Clark hunts down clues that bring him into direct confrontation with those who possess the means and the will to crush any opposition. Mercilessly and completely. This is a powerful story about courage, commitment, and personal loss.

FBI Agent Rick Clark and his forensic psychologist sidekick, Marty Robin, are investigating a number of brutal serial murders committed within a three-year-period.

While Rick and Marty speculate on personal events that may have created this moral monster, the listener becomes, if not sympathetic to the perp, at least more understanding of the role the past plays in creating a cold-blooded killer on a mission to save lost souls.
