When the most ruthless and savage killers strike, when multiple victims are killed, when murders seem unsolvable, that's when the LAPD's Homicide Special Section is called. And when those crimes are the most heinous, most vicious; crimes done by monsters--that's when they call Detective Wade Cutter.
Hunting serial killers is Cutter's passion, catching them is his obsession, and putting them away--either in prison or the grave, that's his promise.
Being the LAPD's top closer makes Cutter his commander's natural choice when a bizarre death is reported.
Sent to a crime-scene on the roof of a seedy hotel in Hollywood, Cutter learns a teenage girl has been reduced to a puddle of pink goop; his only clue--a mysterious cigarette butt.
This has got to be hoax, Cutter thinks, until three ICE agents show up and use National Security as an excuse to power grab the case away.
Leave it alone, he's warned. The Feds will Patriot Act your ass into a deep dark hole if you don't give it up.
But Wade Cutter doesn't give up easy. When he secretly continues to pursue the young girl's death, the body count begins to rise. If they had any connection to the hotel crime-scene, they're targets--the witnesses, technicians, patrolmen, and Cutter.
After receiving the cryptic message, "Don't trust anyone who smokes," Cutter feels like one man against the world. The only aid he can count on is from an ex-wife he still loves and a white tomcat named Friday.
Covert assassins run amok in the city of Los Angeles and begin slaughtering the detective's friends and coworkers. After numerous attempts on Cutter's life, he discovers a conspiracy going back thousands of years and involving the highest levels of government. A conspiracy that killers from another world will stop at nothing to prevent Cutter from discovering.
Ride along on this mystery thrill ride.
