For nearly thirty years a serial killer has been hiding in plain sight. So has the key to an FBI agent’s dark past.

A family is murdered as they sleep. FBI Special Agent Nina Guerrera and her new team are tasked with determining whether there is any link between this attack and another triple homicide from four years earlier and more than two thousand miles away. In the process, they’ll discover a serial killer so cunning that his grisly trail of death spanning nearly three decades has gone undetected. Each crime scene reminds Nina of the ghostly Latin folktale of La Llorona, which terrified her when she was an abandoned and vulnerable child. Now it’s back to haunt her.

Nina has known evil, but these macabre reenactments are as disturbing as they are baffling. Now she must uncover the meaning behind the rituals as the evidence leads her in an unexpected direction—far closer to home than anyone could have imagined. As the team narrows in on a suspect, the present collides with Nina’s past in a twist of fate that forces her to make the ultimate sacrifice.

If you haven't picked up book one, The Cipher, then stop and just pick it up first. You are going to want some background first with Nina. 
Nina and her team have been called to Arizona for a killer who has killed before, and it looks staged. What Nina and her team uncover is that this killer has jumped states and has killed more than just what they think. With the help of the Phoneix police department, they are on for a wild ride; it seems that the suspect is indeed a smart one. He finds things out that he shouldn't know, which really puts everyone on edge. As our story unfolds, you have to ask yourself what does Nina and this killer have in common? Well, you get your answer, and it all makes sense. Once I started this book, it was hard to put down. I loved how the author was able to make the book fiction, yet at the same time could add how police work would really be handled. The author added some Mexican folklore into the story, and I loved it; I really do love it when the authors add a bit of their culture to the story; it gives a vibe. 
I loved the ending, and I am very happy for Nina! I can't wait to read the next book and see what else will happen.
