It's Bernie's first big case, a chance for her to prove herself to her new boss, former Memphis police detective Jim Norton, but it won't be easy. This killer is uncannily smart. It's as if he knows what Bernie's thinking. And his next move is more than shocking—it's chillingly personal.CLOSE ENOUGH TO KILLA terrifying game is underway. A desperate hunt has begun.
