✦ Synopsis

He doesn’t hunt for new victims in the dead of winter, so now is the time to hunt him.

Freddie Murphy is lying in a dumpster in Seattle, and he just became Chief Clay Thomas’ problem. Some signs point to the victim being the latest in a string of murders committed by a serial killer the press has dubbed “The Traveler”. But other evidence, or lack of it, says this might be the work of a copycat. Chief Thomas is tasked with finding out which scenario is the truth, but there’s a big complication.

Murphy isn’t Special Agent Ricki James’ case, until a note is found in the victim’s pocket stating that he could identify the Traveler—a killer who has eluded capture for two years and left a string of bodies behind him. The note is addressed to Ricki’s boss, and it matches a letter Murphy had written claiming the traveler spent time in a national park, but he never named which one.

As Ricki and Clay dig into Murphy’s life, they have no choice but to follow a twisted trail to trap a monster who continues killing to keep his secrets safe. Then when Ricki finally comes face-to-face with the infamous serial killer, it’s clear only one of them will walk away, and the Traveler is determined that Ricki will be the one left behind.
