"Three severed heads. Two worlds. One forbidden love. Decapitated bodies seem to be following Special Agent Emma Last. First, it was the haunting appearance of the ghost of Ned, the late brother of Emma's friend and colleague, who was beheaded in a car accident years ago. Now, D.C.'s Violent Crimes Unit has two more headless victims. Or is it four? Over two eerie nights, a crypt raider exchanged ancient skeletal skulls for the freshly severed heads of two unidentified men. Yet, the whereabouts of their bodies and the stolen bones remain shrouded in mystery. The why behind the seemingly ritualist crimes is even more perplexing. The victims have nothing in common other than age and orientation. But without their bodies, the cause of their deaths remains elusive. Could Emma and her team be dealing with some type of dark occult practice? More importantly, is there a method to the killer's madness? The clock is ticking. And if bad things come in threes, Emma and the team only have one more day to decipher the mind of a killer before they strike again." -- p. 4 of cover.
