Lieutenant Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels is back and facing her worst murder case yet. An unknown sender is sending Jack videotapes of snuff films. The victims are people she knows, and they all have one thing in common: they were all involved in Jack's previous cases. Jack follows a deadly trail through the Midwest, heading towards an inevitable confrontation with the smartest and most dangerous adversary she has ever encountered. Throughout this manhunt, Jack puts her career, her love life, and her closest friends at risk, leading her to a startling realization: even serial killers have families - and blood is thicker than water. As in the first two books of the series, "The Gingerbread Man" and "Good Cop, Bad Cop," "The Psychopaths" features the tried-and-true mix of quirky humor and crazy characters.
