El cuerpo de una mujer brutalmente asesinada es hallado en una cabaña abandonada en el Parque Nacional de los Los Angeles. Desnuda, atada a dos postes de madera y con la piel del rostro desollada -cuando aún seguía con vida. En la nuca tiene grabado un extraño símbolo, un crucifijo doble: la firma de un psicópata conocido como el Asesino del Crucifijo. Pero no es posible porque el Asesino del Crucifijo fue arrestado y ejecutado dos años atrás. ¿Podría tratarse de un imitador? ¿Alguien que ha tenido acceso a los detalles de los primeros asesinatos, detalles complejos que nunca se hicieron públicos? ¿O acaso, el detective Robert Hunter tendrá que hacer frente a lo inconcebible? ¿Andará aún suelto el auténtico Asesino del Crucifijo, dispuesto a embarcarse de nuevo en una matanza indiscriminada y sádica, eligiendo a sus víctimas al azar y provocando a Hunter, incapaz de cogerle? Robert Hunter y su novicio compañero están a punto de adentrarse en una pesadilla que supera toda imaginación y donde el concepto de una muerte rápida no existe.

Detective Robert Hunter, who leads LAPD's Special Section, Ultra Violent Unit, is assigned the case. But almost immediately a second body turns up. Hunter knows he has to be quick. Surrounded by new challenges as every day passes, Detective Hunter finds himself chasing a monster.

An unidentified female body is brought into the Los Angeles County morgue. The cause of death is still unclear. Her body bares no marks; except for the fact that her most intimate parts have been stitched shut. But what shocks the pathologist the most is that the killer had left something inside her. Something so monstrous Detective Robert Hunter, of the Los Angeles Homicide Special Section, has to be pulled off a different case to take over the investigation. Within days a new body surfaces. Like the previous victim, she's also been stitched shut and something has been left inside her. Something as ingenious as it is grotesque. And the killer isn't done yet, not by a long shot. When his inquiry collides with a missing persons' case being investigated by the attractive, razor-sharp Whitney Meyers, Hunter suspects the killer might be keeping several women hostage. Soon Robert finds himself on the hunt for a murderer who is much more monstrous than he ever could have expected; a predator whose past hides a terrible secret, and who won't stop until each of his victims has brought forth the awful truth that lies hidden deep inside them too.

'I need your help, Detective. Fire or water?' Detective Robert Hunter of the LAPD's Homicide Special Section receives an anonymous call asking him to go to a specific web address - a private broadcast. Hunter logs on and a show devised for his eyes only immediately begins. But the caller doesn't want Detective Hunter to just watch, he wants him to participate, and refusal is simply not an option. Forced to make a sickening choice, Hunter must sit and watch as an unidentified victim is tortured and murdered live over the Internet. The LAPD, together with the FBI, use everything at their disposal to electronically trace the transmission down, but this killer is no amateur, and he has covered his tracks from start to finish. And before Hunter and his partner Garcia are even able to get their investigation going, Hunter receives a new phone call. A new website address. A new victim. But this time the killer has upgraded his game into a live murder reality show, where anyone can cast the deciding vote.

Ex-criminal behaviour psychologist and lead Detective with the Ultra Violent Crime Unit of the LAPD, Robert Hunter, is asked to run a series of interviews with the apprehended man.
