A serial killer prows the campus of Casey Armstrong Preparatory Academy. There seems to be no leads pointing to the killer or the motive for the murders. The only thing Detective Jake Stalb can be sure about is that the unknown suspect is copying a killer from many decades ago and across the ocean in England. Because the person committing these homicides is being very careful and leaving no fingerprints or DNA, Jake thinks his current case will end up with the same solution as that other case; a case he's studied and considers the world's greatest cold case. He and the rest of his team must work through their individual doubts about themselves and stop the killer before more people die.
Becoming a father is something Jake thought would never happen. He and Clarissa had been told early in their marriage that she would never be able to have children. But he discovers the miracles he never believed in do happen. His long-held atheistic beliefs begin to change as he thinks about everything that has happened over the past few months.
