But after a corrupt NYC councillor, also on the list, dies suspiciously, recently widowed Special FBI Agent Alex Bedford suspects foul play. Young British filmmaker Jacob Felle arrives in New York to connect with his estranged sister, Elizabeth, and to reconcile a long-buried family trauma. But Alex and Jacob are on a collision course, and when Jacob becomes a suspect, the two find themselves in a race to unravel the mystery before even more people die. Both Alex and Jacob must confront their worst fears and put their lives on the line as they try to find the answer to two key questions: Why are the killers targeting the ten worst list? And who will be next to die?"--Book jacket flap.
