Murderers never take a break, so when the body of a twenty-nine-year-old middle school gym teacher is discovered, Special Agents Amelia Storm and Zane Palmer are called in to help the Violent Crimes Division with one of their most puzzling cases to date. Because this isn't just a random crime...It's far more bizarre. The latest victim is the fifth to be found dumped in a rural area south of Chicago. The victims have little in common, except one thing...their internal organs have been removed with a precision that only a surgeon could achieve. Is this the work of a deranged serial killer, an organ trafficker, or God forbid, both? Or could one of Chicago's criminal organizations be involved? Despite their investigation yielding one dead end after another, Amelia is determined to keep digging. Because she has no doubt that the murderer will strike again, and soon...unless she stops them first.
