A trail of blood. A mind under siege. A killer who cannot stop.
In the third installment of the Psychic Detective Series, Gus Chase is no longer just hunting a monster—he is hunting a prisoner. When a string of ritualistic serial killings paralyzes the city, NYPD Detective Jenny Lynch is enlisted to help the only man who can see the fingerprints left on the soul. Together with his sharp-witted assistant, Mill, Gus follows a bloody trail of clues that defies traditional tactics. But as the team closes in, the psychic frequency shifts. Gus realizes that "The Bathtub Killer," weaving this web of death, isn't acting out of malice, but under a terrifying, external compulsion. Somewhere in the shadows, a puppet master is pulling the strings of a killer who is desperately trying to scream for help. To catch the real predator, Gus must risk his own sanity and delve into a mind that is no longer its own. In the world of the Lucid Spider, the most dangerous place to be is inside someone else's head.
