Elephants and Chopping Blocks Retain Their Natural Color (Hardcover)

For over 20 years, a sadistic, prolific, malevolent, and predatory killer has been claiming victims from border to border and coast to coast. Who is he? And how has he managed to elude the authorities for so long? When Dr. Kirsten Leone, a renowned forensic psychiatrist, is solicited by the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit to assist in its investigation, she runs into a wall of resistance. The FBI's profile is in conflict with her own intellectual and clinical insights into mental illness, and consequently, her theories are soundly and summarily dismissed. Meanwhile, the gruesome murders continue. Stalled in their progress and desperate for answers, the FBI invites Kirsten back into the investigation for a second time, and she becomes the killer's newest fixation, and her family and friends-fresh targets. When the relentless assassin realizes Kirsten's assessment is too close for comfort, Kirsten must use every tool at her disposal-instinct, mental and physical strength, tactical skills, and an innate ability to anticipate her adversary's next move-to end the carnage and bring this murderer to justice. Her life and the lives of her family and friends depend on it. Dive into this chilling psychological thriller, where Dr. Leone proves that character clues are just as important as physical evidence when you're trying to stop a monster.
