It's hard to recognize the devil when his hand is on your shoulder. That's because a psychopath is just a person before he becomes a headline ... .Psychopaths have preferences for Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts coffee, denim or linen, Dickens or ... well, you get the point. Ex-FBI agent Brigid Quinn has seen more than her share of psychopaths. She is ready to put all that behind her, building a new life in Tucson with a husband, friends, and some nice quiet work as a private investigator. Sure, she could still kill a man half her age, but she now gets her martial arts practice by teaching self-defense at a women's shelter. But sometimes it isn't that simple. When her sister-in-law dies, Brigid take in her seventeen-year-old niece, Gemma Kate. There has always been something unsettling about Gemma-Kate, but family is family.
