Harker book description

Detective Mina Harker has built a reputation as the sharpest mind in the New Orleans Police Department, closing cases no one else can crack.

But the case that’s been haunting her for years is unlike anything else in her files. The victims leave behind no forensic evidence, no witnesses, and not a single drop of blood in their bodies.

When FBI Special Agent Jon Weston enlists Harker to help track a serial killer who’s striking in New Orleans, she knows two things: he’s closer to the truth than he knows—and she can’t let him get too close. Because the truth isn’t just about the killer. It’s about her too.

Five years ago, Harker survived an encounter that should have killed her. What it left behind still torments her, and it’s getting harder to control. And as victims turn up across New Orleans, and a shadowy figure from her past tightens his grip on the city, Mina is running out of time to decide: is she the hunter or the prey?
