Publisher Description

The elite Special Crimes Unit, the FBI’s most controversial and effective team, is a group of mavericks and misfits trained to use their unique psychic abilities to hunt the worst monsters imaginable – human ones. Led by the enigmatic Noah Bishop, the SCU team has earned a reputation for pitting their skills and cunning against killers that other cops fear. But this time Bishop and his agents face an enemy who has them in his sights, a trained sniper with a deadly plan — and more than one ace up his sleeve. It starts with an unspeakable series of grisly murders across three states, a trail of blood leading, finally, to the small Tennessee town of Serenade. There, two more brutal murders lure the SCU into what may be the ultimate trap. One of the first investigators on the scene, Special Agent Hollis Templeton is willing to push herself as hard and as far as necessary. Risking more than her life to help and protect her fellow SCU members, Hollis is coping with psychic abilities that are evolving in unprecedented ways, an attraction to the most complex man she’s ever known, and a serial murder investigation that has just turned very, very personal. In her time with the SCU, Hollis has shown an uncanny ability to survive even the most deadly attacks. But what she doesn’t count on is that this killer intends to destroy the team from within. The clock is ticking. The body count is rising. And as Bishop and his agents race to uncover the identity of their true enemy, not even their special senses can warn them just how bloody, and how terrifyingly close, the truth will be.

"I really enjoyed this newest addition to the Bishop series. Some people have said they found it too dark and somewhat gory. Yes, it was dark, but this is indicative of the series. If you don't enjoy books that center around psychic and other paranormal talents, this book (and series) is not for you. I happen to love paranormal. This book left a lot of unanswered questions and I'm anxiously awaiting the next book in the series - and hopefully some answers."

    " This will probably be the last book I read in the BCU series (providedd there are more coming) It is just getting to far out there for me. More and more characters, trying to keep them matched up with their abilities, and am no longer able to think this is in the realm of possibility. "

    " Oh dear. I usually finish any/every book I start but this is one that I wish I hadn't bothered! Somehow I can't seem to get into stories that involve dead murderers possessing other spirits to continue their killing sprees,NOR books that footnote every reference to the author's other works. "

    " Not her best. It seemed to drag a bit. I think the novelty has worn off and it's just getting to be too much. I love the other books and the idea of our brains evolving to be able to do things like telepathy or see the future but the plot of this one was wearing thin. Good but not great. "

    " This book started out with great potential, the setup was great, but then it went downhill from there. There were too many characters and soon the story was more about them than the actual crime, about halfway through I really didn't care anymore, I just wanted to get it over with. "

    " I am a Kay Hooper fan and also appreciate well written books that include paranormal aspects; this was a good addition to the series; however, I did think that the author is stretching the abilities of the characters a bit too far to make the storyline believable. "
