"Dark, twisted and seductive--it's hard not to be drawn in by THE CONTESTANT."
--Simon Wood, author of PAYING THE PIPER

Raymond is a serial killer - brilliant and resourceful. Once a respected behavioural analyst and profiler, a hit-and-run accident five years ago left him confined to a wheelchair, and now he scratches out a living with online contests using fake or stolen identities.

A $10million online treasure hunt could be his salvation.

But the moment he registers for the competition, the first email arrives - someone out there knows him, knows who he is, and where the bodies are buried.

Now, in Raymond's sick and twisted mind, there's only one way to find his blackmailer and put an end to the threats: play the game, follow the treasure hunt clues ...

... and find the one person who can stop him.
