FBI Agent Angela David comes home to New York to train under legendary profiler Marcus Cain, a close friend and partner of her late father. As he tutors her on the job, they succeed in apprehending dangerous criminals; for instance they capture dangerous Zeus due to his experience and knowledge and her skill to pose as a foreigner. However, Manhattan also serves as a depressing reminder that her beloved dad was murdered with his throat sliced here.

Soon she is assigned her first case to uncover the identity of a devious serial killer. Cain introduces Angela to New York Police Officer Carson Severo who is to help her with her investigation. Though she struggles to ignore her dad's death her current case keeps intertwining with his murder. Someone apparently holds a grudge against the David family. Angela knows she must stop this serial killer before anyone else she loves is hurt.

Though the audience will wonder if Angela should have been disqualified from the investigation for personal reasons, readers will enjoy this strong heroine as she works the mean streets of New York. The romance takes a back seat to the action as physically active Angela wrestles with killers and follows them in wild Manhattan car pursuits. A final twist that seems way out adds suspense to a terrific kick butt police procedural.
