A Cruel Season for Dying

"Now without any clues, Sakura turns to a brilliant and beautiful FBI profiler as well as to his former partner, a man who crashed and burned as a cop but still retains the finest instincts of a man-hunter. As Sakura's team races to each new crime scene, as forensic scientists and pathologists scour for any microscopic shred of evidence, the killer ups the ante: After a series of adult male victims, the latest is a child." "In the face of unimaginable evil, Sakura grapples with the suspicion that the man he hunts is a lot like him: a man who loves a woman, who wants to put a shattered world back together, who is as sensitive and brilliant as Sakura himself. Like two lost souls in a city of fallen angels, the cop and the killer are doing what they must - and every step of their journey takes them closer and closer to each other."--BOOK JACKET.
