AN ADDRESS TO DIE FOR... The heart of every town in America just became a target.

There is a killer on the loose. He has committed four murders in four weeks, each of which have only one thing in common. The victims' address: 138 Main Street.

For FBI Special Agent Ben Walker and his rookie colleague, Officer Zoe Hill, the case is unlike any they have seen before. They already know where the murderer will strike: the problem is that there are over seven thousand Main Streets in the USA. And they have no clue which one will be next.

With every town in the country at imminent risk, the pressure is mounting on Ben and Zoe to stop the killer before he can carry out his threat. 

But with their target always several steps ahead, and over three and a half million square miles of ground to cover, they'll have to find him first . . .
