Feel the good, the bad, and the tears through the eyes of Travis as he takes you through his journey that will pull at your heart. His wedding day will mirror the life he has led, from his habit of playing basketball when stressed, like dealing with a loss in the family. His greatest day, his wedding day, the culmination of his life will bring him to his knees.
Neil Baggio thought he was done with Bureau, done with Cappelano and finally accepted he may never close the case of his mentor turned famed killer. After a rash of killings too close to be considered copycats, too detailed to be someone else, the Bureau calls Neil back in. Cappelano, the Veritas Killer, looks to Neil as unfinished business, a student still in need of his teaching and will do everything in his power to finish his lesson.
Neil must overcome the demons that come with watching a killer go free, taking lives and doing it on your watch. He must color outside the Bureaus lines if he’s going to catch Cappelano this time and not play by all the Bureaus rules that cost him last time. Since leaving the Bureau Neil has built a company in Detroit of investigators with a trusted ally that have made him a force in the community. Using his team, he trusts, he will have to work inside the Bureau to keep tabs on Cappelano, while working outside the Bureaus prying eyes.
Cappelano has dreams of getting Neil back into the Bureau’s good graces, back to the top of the mountain. Cappelano looks to Neil as his greatest achievement, his top pupil but still unfinished. It is this case that will define Neil, from Detroit to D.C. and across the border Neil will have to push himself and his relationships to the limit if he’s going to survive Cappelano one last time.
