The two pick up where they left off two years ago, both professionally and personally. Knowing he cannot investigate on his own, Jack asks his former girlfriend, Rachel Walling, to help out.

After being questioned by two police detectives, Jack McEvoy becomes a person of interest. The book begins with the killing of a female during a sexual encounter.
