The victim's body has a strange combination of letters and numbers tattooed on her feet that Kaspary quickly recognizes to be coordinates, but not for any ordinary map. The tattoos are GPS coordinates, used by scavenger hunting geo-cachers . . . only this hunt isn't a hobby, and it's not leading to treasure but to to murder. It's clear from the grisly clues the investigators find that the unfortunate woman is not to be the last victim. Detective Kaspary and her partner, Florin Wenninger, embark on a wild goose chase through the Austrian countryside in order to catch the killer before they end up in their own shallow grave, the would-be pawns in an unusual serial killer's terrifying and twisted game of life and death. "A superior psychological thriller." —Karin Slaughter, New York Times–bestselling author of Pretty Girls "An intriguing melding of a gripping police procedural and an exciting update of the puzzle mystery." —Associated Press "Sure to appeal to Stieg Larsson fans." —Booklist
