Just when you think you have found the perfect match, you may find yourself bursting into flames.

In the Washington, DC metro, police officers are being maimed and murdered, unconnected victims chosen randomly. What kind of killer is the FBI up against? Can Agent Hayes and his team uncover the truth behind the brutal murders?

Callahan turned on the light. Weatherly lay in his own blood, flowing freely from a deep cut in his throat. There were other cuts across his torso and legs, but they were minor compared to the gash that had torn open his throat.

When FBI agent Richard Weatherly dies, the team of agents led by Nicolas Hayes is assigned to investigate. Their assumption that the murder might be connected to the Mafia case on Callahan's desk proves wrong. Then the next officer becomes the victim of the Death Trap Killer, a faceless man who attacks old people in their homes. It becomes clear that the killer's aim is far more sinister-he's on a killing spree, and his main targets are law enforcement officers.

In his private life, Nicolas is confronted by a group of gangsters who want to kidnap his girlfriend, Jacklyn, for reasons only her father can explain. To keep her safe, the couple must separate. Regretfully, Jacklyn leaves their home, not knowing when she will be able to return.
