Summary
When a meticulous serial killer begins "decomposing" his victims to oppose a series of sketches, Aaron Hotchner and the BAU are forced to work with the very woman that brought them the case in the first place.
Known only as "The Shadow", Kali is a legendary Dark Ops hacker who vanished into the industrial belly of D.C. long ago. She's jagged, brilliant, and has no interest in being a "civilian asset". But as the Unsub's obsession shifts from the sketches to the hacker, Aaron realizes that protecting Kali means breaching the walls of a woman who has spent her life staying hidden. In a race through the dark corners of the city, they must decide if they are hunting a killer or if they are simply being drawn into his final masterpiece.
