MURDERS WITH NO MOTIVE... Two men are found killed one month apart in luxurious Honolulu hotels. The Honolulu Police Department finds the cases unsolvable. With no discernible motive, and a brutality no one on the force has ever seen, the killings appear to be the work of an intensely deranged mind. One the police feel is one step ahead of their investigation. JON STANTON IS PULLED BACK INTO THE DARKNESS Having thought he left police work behind, famed homicide detective Jon Stanton is nonetheless thrown back into the Black Widow Murders. The killings are brutal, efficient, and designed to impose maximum pain before death. Stanton knows whoever committed these crimes has nothing inside them that is human any longer, putting everyone in Honolulu at risk. TIME IS RUNNING OUT The Black Widow is ruthless and clever in a way Stanton has never dealt with before. He understands now that she is smarter than he is, and willing to go to extremes he is not. And she's chosen her next victim. With the victim's life in the balance, Stanton must race to stop a killer that has shown herself unstoppable. And he must risk his sanity and his life to do it.
