Something sinister is going on in Baronville. The rust belt town has seen four bizarre murders in the space of two weeks. Cryptic clues left at the scenes--obscure bible verses, odd symbols--have the police stumped. 

Amos Decker and his FBI colleague Alex Jamison are in Baronville visiting Alex's sister and her family. It's a bleak place: a former mill and mining town with a crumbling economy and rampant opioid addiction. Decker has only been there a few hours when he stumbles on a horrific double murder scene. 

Then the next killing hits sickeningly close to home. And with the lives of people he cares about suddenly hanging in the balance, Decker begins to realize that the recent string of deaths may be only one small piece of a much larger scheme--with consequences that will reach far beyond Baronville. 

Decker, with his singular talents, may be the only one who can crack this bizarre case. Only this time--when one mistake could cost him everything--Decker finds that his previously infallible memory may not be so trustworthy after all...


Baronville正在發生一些險惡的事情。這個生鏽帶城鎮已經在兩週內發現了四起奇怪的謀殺案。在幕後留下的隱秘線索 - 晦澀的聖經經文及奇怪的符號難倒了警方。

Amos Decker和他的FBI同事Alex Jamison正在Baronville拜訪Alex的妹妹和她的家人。這是一個黯淡的地方：一個前磨坊和採礦城鎮，經濟崩潰，鴨片類藥物成癮猖獗。德克爾只有幾個小時，他偶然發現了一個可怕的雙重謀殺現場。

然後下一次殺戮在家附近令人作嘔。隨著他關心的人們的生活突然停留在平衡狀態，德克爾開始意識到，最近的一系列死亡事件可能只是一個更大的計劃中的一小部分 - 後果將遠遠超出巴倫維爾。

德克爾憑藉其獨特的天賦，可能是唯一能夠破解這一奇異案例的人。只有這一次 - 當一個錯誤可能讓他付出一切代價 - 德克爾發現他以前無懈可擊的記憶可能不會那麼值得信賴......
