Publisher's summary

Dr. Theo Cray is on the hunt for a killer nurse, and redemption, in a mind-bending psychological thriller by the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Naturalist.

Dr. Theo Cray has a legendary mathematical knack for catching serial killers. Until his exposure to a mind-altering pathogen knocks him off his game. It has upended an investigation, destroyed his reputation, and left him to question his own sanity. One person still trusts him to finish the job. His former professor Amanda Paulson is helping point Cray down a logical path to his prey: a nomadic health-care worker whose murder spree stretches back decades and whose victims number in the hundreds.

Never more desperate to save innocent lives, and to save himself, Cray follows each new lead around the world. But with his own grip on reality slipping away, Cray knows that to follow the pattern of an elusive killer, he must also confront his own dark side. In those dangerous shadows, he can find what he’s hunting. For Cray, venturing into a world without reason is going to be the most frightening journey of his life.

Excellent performance by Will Damron!

Dr. Theo Cray finds himself on everyone's hit list. He's managed to ostracized from people he's counted on to the people he most cares about. In search of a killer who is murdering patients, Theo loses himself as his obsession takes over.
There are a number of twists and near misses, but nothing will deter him on his mission to catch this killer of the innocent. I found this book to stretch credibility, but I just rolled with it. I do enjoy this nutty professor and his exploits.
Again, I highly recommend the Audible companion performed by the very versatile Will Damron.

good listen but not his best

good on the front end but got too murky in the middle. I thought the ending was very anticlimactic and very obviously led into his next book.

Surprisingly compelling

When I started this series, it was because the premise sounded interesting and I like science stuff. And I like the analyses and thought processes. What I didn’t expect was how compelling this character Theo Cray would be nor how gripping the stories would unfold. Be warned that this has some hard stuff—possibly not for the faint of heart. If you’re looking for Lord Peter Wimsey, look elsewhere. But if you enjoy psychological thrillers, here is an excellent series.

Awesome Series!

I love the science that Andrew Mayne weaves, so skillfully into his stories. All four books in this series were particularly well written and expertly narrated.

Thank you for an entertaining and educational trip down a dark lane that I had not explored before.

Hope There Are More

Well, I think that is the end of the series. Hopefully there are more Theo Cray books written. Like this one, they all stand for them selves and build a bit on the previous book. Excellent narrator. Sad it ended.

Powerful Story but went in a Way I didn't care for

I loved book one and two in this series. I don't remember reading book three, and then I bought this one last night. Listened straight through. It's pretty well done, but it is so very dark I struggle to say I like it.I wonder if Theo is going to develop the disease he was exposed to in the last book?

Overall, if you are reading the series, don't skip this one. I hope it's back too happier ending.
