Francis Ackerman Jr. is incapable of fear and addicted to pain, but sometimes stopping the worst of the worst is a job for the best of the bad. Ackerman--an infamous mass murderer now working as a special consultant for the US government--must find a missing member of his team before she becomes the next victim of a serial killer known as the Taker. With the help of his brother, Special Agent Marcus Williams, Ackerman must solve a twenty-year old cold case that connects to a string of abductions surrounding the Navajo Nation.
