Synopsis

Twenty minutes to live…

Forensic biologist Grace Descanso is the sole survivor of a crime scene investigation turned bloodbath. The perp she killed is a powerful senator's son. Her already-shaky career and ability to support her five-year-old daughter, Katie, are in serious jeopardy. But when Katie disappears, Grace's life spirals into an even darker nightmare. For the "Spikeman" is watching her every move. And the series of taunting riddles he gives her must be answered twenty minutes apart—or Katie dies.

Now each clue leads Grace back into a past she's desperately tried to put behind her. Help means betrayal, every move is a trap—and lies are all she can rely on. Her one chance to win this lethal game means uncovering the truth behind the tragedy that nearly destroyed her. But for one viciously obsessed killer, no price for revenge is too high—and no amount of innocent blood will ever be enough….
