      The Third to Die
    • Drsná poušť. Vražedný gang. Začíná závod s časem… Když v oblasti jižně od Tucsonu začne z neznámých příčin hynout divoká zvěř, mladá aktivistka z místní univerzity se sama vydává do hor zjistit víc. Vzápětí je ale i ona nalezena mrtvá a tucsonská policie s vyšetřováním případu rozhodně nespěchá. Mobilní vyšetřovací jednotka vedená samotářským agentem FBI Mattem Costou a svéráznou policistkou Karou Quinnovou však zareaguje okamžitě. Vyšetřovatelé do města dorazí v utajení a s cílem získat nová vodítka se infiltrují do rafinerie mědi. Důkazy, které tam najdou, je zavedou do nehostinné arizonské pouště… Costa a Quinnová pročesávají zdecimovanou krajinu, která nepřestává vydávat svědectví o zločinech mnohem vážnějších, než se zprvu zdálo – obchodu s bílým masem i dalších nevyřešených vražd. Jak počet obětí narůstá, dochází jim, že tento případ skrývá daleko více, než si mysleli. Není ale cesty zpět, hodiny tikají a agenti musí odhalit původce vražedného běsnění dřív, než přijdou o život další nevinní lidé… nebo oni sami.

      Investigative reporter Maxine Revere has a theory: that the five New York City murders for which Adam Bachman is being tried are just part of his killing spree. In probing the disappearance of a retired couple who vanished the prior summer, Max uncovers striking similarities to Bachman's MO and develops a theory that Bachman wasn't working alone. Max wins a coveted pre-trial interview with the killer, whose disarming composure in the face of her questions is combined with uncomfortable knowledge of Max's own past. She leaves the room convinced, but unable to prove, that Bachman knows exactly what happened to the missing couple. The D.A. wants nothing to jeopardize his case against Bachman and refuses to consider Max's theory. With no physical evidence, Max has to rely on her own wits and investigative prowess to dig deep into Bachman's past. The picture that Max puts together is far darker and more deadly than she ever imagined. As Max gets closer to the truth, she doesn't realize that she's walking down a road that has been paved just for her. That every step she takes brings her one step closer to a brilliant, methodical sociopath who has been waiting for her to make just one small mistake. And when she does, he'll be there waiting.
