Summary
When a series of murders at a Virginia university draws the BAU into the world of academia, Dr. Spencer Reid finds himself crossing paths with Dr. Ellis Cauldwell, a psychologist whose warmth and insight stand in quiet defiance of the violence surrounding her.
But as the investigation deepens, what begins as a study in motive and method becomes something far more personal. The killer's fixation runs closer to home than anyone realises, forcing Reid to confront a grief he thought he'd long since buried, and a kind of connection he no longer believed possible.
Because some lessons are learned in theory... and others in survival.
