After handing in his detective badge, Mason Black now lives a stable life as a private investigator. But when the bodies of two children are discovered with messages written in blood, the pattern of a familiar killer emerges. Now, the Carter twins are missing, and only Mason can help. With his unique knowledge of the killer, he has an advantage over the San Francisco Police Department. While his marriage falls apart, he must choose between repairing his life and opening doors that were meant to stay closed. The Lullaby Killer is on the hunt, and Mason Black is always a step behind.

Lori had it all: the perfect marriage, a job she loved, and a beautiful home in a small town. But when a tragic car wreck takes her husband's life and leaves her hospitalized, she has to learn to live alone again. Her friends look out for her, or so they say, but they don't believe her when she says she's being followed. Her counselor says she's suffering PTSD, and her sister says she's paranoid. But Lori knows herself better than anyone else does, and she's certain someone is watching her. What she doesn't know is why, but she'll do anything to find out - even if it costs her life.

It's been one year since the Lullaby Killer was punished for his crimes, and Mason Black's life has already improved. His PI business is thriving, his family life is stronger than ever, and after years of misery he's finally happy. It's a shame it has to end. Three bodies have been discovered with accusing messages carved into the skin. Hiding below the police radar, Mason flees across San Francisco in search for answers, desperate to find his tormentor before the SFPD arrest him. His only clue? Somebody wants revenge, and they'll stop at nothing to take it. 

There's no honor among spies. It's been six weeks since Blake Salinger joined the Agency - an organization of elite spies formed to eliminate the unworthy. With his first mission rounding the corner there's only one thing left to learn; does his father need to die? The impossible task is set, and Val Salinger still evades his wrath. With his friends gone and Rachel nowhere to be seen, Blake's determination to end the Agency takes a backseat to his new objective: to wipe his hands of these lies and put his father down for good.

It's been weeks since Lori Turner lost everything: her loving husband, their unborn child, and even her mind. At least the man responsible was dead. Lori had seen to that and left to find a new home - a new life. But after a perfect start in a new town, a careless encounter with a young woman leaves Lori nursing her bruises. If there's one thing Lori's learned, it's to not let the shadows of her past darken the future, and it's not just her that needs that advice.

Each day Blake spends on the run is a fight for survival. With a corrupt government agency, a familiar enemy, and the LAPD breathing down his neck, it's only a matter of time until he's captured or killed. But he's not alone. An unlikely team help Blake discover a weak spot in their enemy's defenses, and together they plot to exploit it. In a race against the clock, their only chance is to regroup and take action, before their luck finally runs out. The plot thickens with even more espionage, conspiracies, and gunplay than its predecessor.

When Blake Salinger went to work that day, everything seemed normal. His life was structured, routine. Boring, even. All he wanted was a little excitement - he just never expected to be arrested for his own father's murder. Caught between the lies of corrupt cops and a silver-haired stranger, Blake flees across Los Angeles to learn the truth of his father's mysterious past. The deeper he goes, the bigger the lies become. The only certain thing is that he can't run forever.
