Quickly, he’s fighting to match wits with an untraceable killer while trying to break in a new partner and navigate the growing political storm building around his case.

As the killer begins to accelerate his plans, Agent Bohr finds that the stakes have never been higher and that the jurisdictional power of his case may not be enough to bring this killer to justice.
