In this gripping and emotionally charged mystery, young boys in Levittown, New York, are being attacked and brutally murdered – and it all begins when young Devin Mastro crosses paths with a serial killer.

Detective Jennifer Cot of Levittown’s Eighth Precinct knows her team must act fast to catch the killer, but a chilling premonition warns her this is only the beginning for the self-proclaimed killer who wants to be known as Phoenix. Clues at the crime scenes are scarce, yet eerily specific: a single bloody sneaker and a blood-red sealing wax dot on the victim’s forehead.

Can Detective Cot stop Phoenix before another boy becomes the next victim?

With characters you’ll love – and some you’ll loathe – this mystery also weaves in two blossoming romances that will leave romantic hearts satisfied, even amid the darkest of crimes.
