THEY''RE DYING TO MEET HIM . . .
_______

The discovery of a body in Boston harbor has crime scene investigator Darby McCormick looking into an almost identical case: both were female students, abducted months earlier, each carrying a Virgin Mary figurine.

It''s a troubling mystery that suddenly turns desperate when a third girl goes missing.

But when Darby makes a breakthrough, she crosses paths with Malcolm Fletcher. Malcolm used to be an FBI agent, but now he''s gone off the rails, and is on the FBI''s Most Wanted List. Darby knows she should turn him in - but Malcolm insists he''s on the trail of the killer she''s hunting.

Should she trust him, or turn him in?

And can either of them stop the killer before they strike again . . .
