Very exciting thriller.
FBI special agent Ulysses Grove has a rare talent. He can intuitively find serial killers that apparently leave no clues. He believes his talent is a product of paying extraordinary attention to the details of a crime scene together with an ability to think like the killer. But there is a certain unknown quality, which he cannot really identify, which makes him the best profiler in the business.
Recently however, there have been a series of crimes committed by a killer the media has dubbed the Sun City killer after the place where the first murder occurred. Grove has not been able to get a handle on the perpetrator and many, including his boss, Tom Geisel, have felt he has lost his special insight.
In an effort to shake him out of his lethargy, Geisel sends Grove to Alaska to meet with a journalist from Discover magazine who has an interesting theory on a totally unrelated matter. The journalist, Maura County, has been following an archeological find of some significance. Some hikers uncovered the body of a man presumably 6000 years old which had been preserved in a glacier. What is most interesting to Maura is that the condition of the body suggests this man had been murdered. She wants Grove to confirm the fact the man had been murdered and profile his killer.
