Dr. Dylan Reinhart wrote the book on criminal behavior. Literally--he's a renowned, bestselling Ivy League expert on the subject. When a copy of his book turns up at a gruesome murder scene--along with a threatening message from the killer--it looks like someone has been taking notes. Elizabeth Needham is the headstrong and brilliant NYPD Detective in charge of the case who recruits Dylan to help investigate another souvenir left at the scene--a playing card. Another murder, another card--and now Dylan suspects that the cards aren't a signature, they're a deadly hint--pointing directly toward the next victim. As tabloid headlines about the killer known as "The Dealer" scream from newstands, New York City descends into panic. With the cops at a loss, it's up to Dylan to hunt down a serial killer unlike any the city has ever seen. Only someone with Dylan's expertise can hope to go inside the mind of a criminal and convince The Dealer to lay down his cards. But after thinking like a criminal--could Dylan become one?

confusing submitted by rjsjwilliams on July 3, 2017, 11:45am Either I didn't understand theclues or the clues were vague. The Dealer was also not introduced until the end of the book. I don't believe I'd read another with the same co-uthor.

Looks like the first of a new series submitted by GJBarnett2 on July 4, 2017, 10:58pm with interesting characters, hints about complex back-stories and plenty of unresolved tensions. Get in on the ground floor.

criminal mind submitted by Linda Rama on July 12, 2017, 7:12pm There were several suspects but the last part of the book snagged the real deal.
