- Synopsis
- A hero cop thwarts a brutal murder and can&’t remember a thing about it. But memories return—and so do the nightmares in this breathlessly paced thriller for fans of David Ricciardi and Michael Connelly.Every town needs a hero—and Detective Cal Farrell fits the bill. He stopped an active shooter six months earlier, and now he&’s become the darling of the Alexandria press. The problem is that Cal remembers nothing from that day. He&’s working with a psychiatrist to recover his memories, but hasn&’t had much luck.Then, on one of his morning runs, he is once again the first on scene for a grisly discovery—a body hanging impossibly high on a tree. Soon there&’s another victim, killed by a blade and dumped in a ravine. As the bodies begin to stack up, each staged more gruesomely than the last, Cal sees a baroque pattern to the crimes that no one else seems to understand—something out of legend.As Alexandria dubs the serial killer &“Old Town Jack,&” Cal learns that the only thing a city loves more than creating a hero is tearing one down. And if he can&’t get to the truth, this hometown hero might just be next in line for destruction.
