A crafty ser­i­al killer who con­tin­ues to toy with law enforce­ment and elude capture …

Best-sell­ing author Kar­lyn Camp­bell is ready for a new start after her recent divorce from a tem­pera­men­tal artist. When she receives word that her father had a stroke, she heads for Wal­ton Springs with mixed feel­ings. Brod­er­ick Camp­bell wrote Pulitzer Prize-win­ning lit­er­ary nov­els and denounced his daughter’s work as pedes­tri­an and com­mer­cial, caus­ing a rift that final­ly heals on his deathbed. Kar­lyn choos­es to stay in the small Geor­gia town to write her pop­u­lar Matt Collins series and decides to try her hand at true crime when Atlanta’s Rain­bow Killer, Roy G. Biv, cap­tures her interest.

Detec­tive Logan Warner’s mar­riage didn’t sur­vive after he lost his twins to a crazed killer who was nev­er caught.

But the Rain­bow Killer moves beyond Atlanta, leav­ing a trail of dead bod­ies paint­ed in bright hues in sev­er­al towns north of the city. Leav­ing no trace evi­dence or DNA and choos­ing ran­dom vic­tims with no appar­ent rhyme or rea­son, Roy proves unstop­pable. Then he arrives in Wal­ton Springs, threat­en­ing the peace­ful town with his mur­der spree. With a ser­i­al killer in their back yard, Logan and Kar­lyn unite with the FBI to find the killer—before he finds them.
