When FBI forensic toxicologist Miles Sterling makes a harrowing discovery—that a dozen unsolved deaths over the past decade each correspond to an element on the periodic table—he must race to follow the trail and find the mastermind behind these murders—and stop him before he strikes again…

In the heart of San Francisco, a new body is found, a new victim of the "element killer", sheathed in gold. What was a cold case now becomes a matter of urgent priority—as Miles Sterling taps his brilliance to decode the clues—all while dangerously close to becoming the next target himself…

Ratings and reviews

I love the narration & how detailed the story is. I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area & hearing how the scenery was described is spot on! Blake Pierce has become my new addiction.

The more I read of this author, the less thrilling they get. Yes, there is suspense but nothing edge of the seat and finding the killer sounds merely a coincidence too.

I really enjoyed this one and can't wait to start the second. Love the storyline and the main characters as well.
