Two investigators struggle to understand the effects of a new drug on Recondito residents.When she was still new to the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, Special Agent Isabel Lefevre was pulled into an investigation in Recondito, a coastal town known as “The Hidden City.” She was charged with catching the Recondito Reaper, a serial killer who’d been dismembering the bodies of scientists with connections to the local university. Working with Detective Patrick Tevake, Izzie identified the killer as Nicholas Fuller, whom they caught while he was dismembering a victim he insisted would be his next-to-last. Fuller was killed in the ensuing standoff, and Izzie and Tevake were glad to put the case to rest. Five years later, Tevake’s forced to reach out to Izzie again when strange connections to his current case recall things Fuller said before his death. Tevake’s been investigating the appearance of Ink, a new drug that appears to imbue users with zombielike characteristics. It’s lucky that Izzie arrives in town with an open mind, because Tevake’s theories on Ink border on the woo-woo side of science. Could some sort of ancient mysticism block its effects? The only thing Izzie isn’t open to is a relationship with her new colleague, Special Agent Daphne Richardson, even though she commands Izzie’s interest even when the two are talking murder rather than romance. Roberson’s expertise as a television and comic-book writer adds a cinematic flair to his story, though readers expecting a resolution will have to wait for later series entries.

Izzie Lefevre was the newest investigator for the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit when she first came to Recondito, a coastal city that's been shrouded in mystery and legend for centuries. Local law enforcement had requested the Bureau's assistance in hunting a sword-wielding serial killer who'd left a dozen mutilated bodies in his wake. Patrick Tevake was a local homicide detective assigned to the taskforce, and together he and Izzie managed to track down and stop the killer before he claimed another victim.
Five years later, Izzie and Patrick remain haunted by what the killer said before he fell in a hail of gunfire. Izzie's ancestors were "mambos," voodoo priestesses who claimed to communicate with the dead and protect the faithful from evil spirits. Patrick's Polynesian great uncle told stories of Recondito's supernatural menaces that lurk in flame and shadow. The killer's last words have brought up a past both Izzie and Patrick thought they'd long since left behind, and neither has been able to shake the feeling that their case was never completely solved.
