Asa Surrette, a sadistic serial killer, manages to narrowly escape the clutches of death penalty when it was temporarily banned in Kansas. With a horrifying string of murders to his name, Surrette sets his sights on Montana after reading a series of damning articles written by none other than Dave Robicheaux's own daughter, Alafair.
Enter an unsuspecting Dave, enjoying the tranquil summer air with his wife Molly, his loyal partner Clete, and Clete's newfound daughter, Gretchen Horowitz. Little do they know, Surrette is on his way, with diabolical intentions that may surpass even Dave's old arch-enemy, Legion Guidry. Dave always suspected Guidry was the embodiment of evil itself.
But thwarting Surrette's plans won't be easy.
