McKenna's search leads him to Adam Simms, a famous retired football player. Because the victims are linked to Simms, McKenna fears he may be the next target. Years of hard hits have left Simms with a brain injury that causes memory loss, and McKenna must decide whether Simms is failing mentally or is lying about what he knows. The killer is clever and cruel, and as McKenna closes in, he finds himself marked for a violent death.
