When you read his message, the game begins.
Forensic pathologist Julia Schwarz can’t believe what she’s seeing. She’s been called in to autopsy a young woman who apparently died from an electric shock in the bathtub. But what looks like an accident quickly turns out to be murder. Worse still, the killer has left a coded message hidden inside his victim’s body. It contains a challenge that Julia can’t solve—and that has Detective Florian Kessler equally stumped. One thing is certain: if they don’t find the answer soon, another woman will die. Julia races to crack the riddle. But the killer is playing a treacherous game—and luring her into a trap. He forces Julia to decide who lives and who dies.
