A string of baffling murders has Detective Ashley Tate questioning everything she thought she knew about death itself. The victims-all predators who escaped justice-are found decomposing in their homes, having been dead for days. Yet security footage impossibly shows them alive and walking around after forensics prove they died.

As the body count rises, Ashley's investigation leads to disturbing connections with her own secret lover, powerful crime boss Coco Matino, whose sudden behavioral changes raise questions Ashley never thought she'd have to ask. When evidence places Coco at a crime scene, Ashley's professional and personal worlds collide with devastating consequences.

Meanwhile, journalist Jude Abrahams has been tracking these cases with uncanny accuracy, always first at crime scenes and publishing articles that praise the mysterious vigilante while criticizing police incompetence. But Jude harbors a dark secret connected to her traumatic experience in a genetics lab one year ago-a secret that could explain the impossible evidence. When Ashley finally confronts what she believes is the truth, she faces a revelation more terrifying than any crime she's investigated.

In a city where nothing is as it seems and identity itself becomes a deadly weapon, Ashley must uncover who-or what-is hunting the guilty before she becomes the next target.
