When two young women are murdered on the streets of New York
exactly one year apart, rookie Detective Ellie Hatcher is
called up for a special assignment on the homicide task
force. The killer has left behind a clue connecting the two
cases to FirstDate.com, a popular online dating service, and
Flann McIlroy, an eccentric, publicity-seeking homicide
detective, is convinced that only Ellie can help him pursue
his terrifying theory: someone is using the lure of the
Internet and the promise of love to launch a killing spree
against the women of New York City. To catch the killer,
Ellie must enter a high-tech world of stolen identities
where no one is who they appear to be. And for her the
investigation quickly becomes personal. She fits the profile
of the victims, and she knows firsthand what pursuing a
sociopath can do to a cop--back home in Wichita, Kansas, her
own father lost his life trying to catch a notorious serial
murderer. When the FirstDate killer begins to mimic the
monster who destroyed her father, Ellie realizes the game
has become personal for him, too. Both hunter and prey, she
knows her only choice is to find the killer before he claims
his next victim--who could very well be Ellie herself.
