Detective Sergeant John Tregalles and the rest of the Broadminster precinct crew have their work cut out for them as they attempt to piece together the crime and its motive. The investigation stalls until a recovering Paget sifts through the tortured flashbacks of the attack and his own haunting memories of personal tragedy-believing it is all connected. Proof arrives when another victim is found with his throat slashed, and ominous calls from the killer taunt Paget with dangerous intent. To solve a crime that is more personal than he ever imagined, Paget must venture deep into the dark pain of his own past. . .and the twisted mind of a killer who knows revenge is a dish best served cold. . .as cold as death.
