In a not-so-distant future, weapons and bulletproof vests have become an everyday sight.

Perhaps the only exception is a U.S. community that claims to guarantee the safety of its residents thanks to the tight control enforced by the agents of the State Security Service.

In this setting, Susan Clayton, who makes puzzles for a magazine, receives an encrypted message that seems to say: “I’ve found you.”

The cryptic note is especially disturbing at a time when a serial killer is stalking Florida—a killer who may very well be Susan’s long-missing father.
