Summary

New York has learned to listen for sirens. But this time, the sirens are not coming fast enough. A serial rapist is moving through the city, carefully choosing his victims and leaving almost nothing behind. Every crime appears different—until investigators realize that each scene contains one small signature. Someone is watching. Someone is learning. And someone inside the investigation may know more than they are saying. Detective Robert Casey thought he had buried his past years ago. Then Helle Powell, a New York State Police officer, walks back into his life. They were once deeply in love. Then something happened that neither of them was willing to discuss. Now they must work together. There is no time to deal with old feelings because another threat has emerged. A killer calling himself The Reckoner has declared war on the police, firefighters, and paramedics of New York. His family died years earlier during an emergency that he believes was caused by the very people sworn to save lives. He does not want money. He does not want fame. He wants them to suffer. As the two investigations collide, Robert and Helle discover that the cases are connected in ways nobody imagined. Every detective has a secret. Every firefighter carries a memory. Every paramedic remembers someone they could not save. And every member of the team will eventually have to answer the same question: How much are you willing to risk for justice—and how much are you willing to risk for love?
