When a former student bungles a murder investigation, clinical psychologist Joseph OLoughlin steps in to face a ruthless killer. A mother and her teenage daughter are found murdered in a remote farmhouse, one defiled by multiple stab wounds and the other posed like Sleeping Beauty waiting for her prince. Joe OLoughlin is drawn into the investigation when a former student, trading on Joes reputation by calling himself the “Mindhunter,†jeopardizes the police inquiry by leaking details to the media and stirring up public anger. With no shortage of suspects and tempers beginning to fray, Joe discovers a link between these murders and a series of brutal attacks where the men and women are choked unconscious and the letter “A†is carved into their foreheads. As the case becomes ever more complex, nothing is quite what it seems and soon Joes fate, and that of those closest to him, become intertwined with a merciless, unpredictable killer.
