To stop a monster, you must embrace one... The fourth Ackerman novel from Ethan Cross, conjuring one of the most compelling cop-versus-killer confrontations in the pages of crime and thriller fiction.

Special Agent Marcus Williams and serial killer Francis Ackerman Jr find themselves joining forces once again when a prison officer opens fire from his watchtower on the inmates and guards.

'A fast paced, all-too-real thriller with a villain right out of James Patterson and Criminal Minds' ANDREW GROSS. My wrath knows no bounds. Your torment knows no end. An Arizona prison officer climbs his watchtower and opens fire on the inmates and guards below. Federal investigator Marcus Williams needs to know why. What he unearths is that the prison has become the hunting ground of a psychopath known only as 'Judas'. To uncover Judas' identity, Williams must join forces with serial killer Francis Ackerman Jr. While Williams works the case from the outside, Ackerman Jr. goes undercover among the prisoners on the inside. What neither of them know is just how diabolically ambitious Judas' master plan is... Praise for Ethan Cross: 'Francis Ackerman [is] a manipulative monster with a corrupt conscience' THE TIMES.
