And they know where Bennett, and his family, live. An anonymous tip about a crime in Upper Manhattan proves to be a setup.

And a series of murders follows, each with a distinct signature, alerting Bennett to the presence of a professional killer with a flair for disguise. Bennett taps his best investigators and sources, and they fan out across the five boroughs. But the leads they're chasing turn out to be phantoms.

Through twist after twist, he fights to understand exactly how he fits into the killer's plan, before he becomes the ultimate victim.
