Lucas Davenport had encountered her before. Taryn Grant, a wealthy psychopath, had successfully run for the U.S. Senate, where Lucas had predicted she would blend right in. He was also convinced that she was responsible for three murders, though he had never been able to prove it. Once a psychopath had tasted that kind of rush, however, they often needed another fix, so he figured he might be seeing her again.

He was right. Now a federal marshal with a vast scope of investigation, he has heard rumors that Grant has secured her seat on the Senate intelligence committee, and the contacts she has made from it, to be highly valuable. Pinning those rumors down was likely to be just as difficult as before, and considerably more dangerous.

But they had unfinished business, he and Grant. One way or the other, he was going to see it through to the end.
