   Summary

   Ordinary places, careful conversations. With a drive that doesn’t end where it should.

   In the quiet between pursuit and resolution, Patrick Jane is brought to a remote cabin in the woods. Where nothing about the setting is accidental, and every detail had been prepared in advance.

   Red John does not rush what he has been planning for him.
