When Jennifer takes one step into the dark house, she hears her father shout for her to run away. As she enters, she beholds a gruesome scene. Strangers have guns to her parents' heads.

He's dealt with kidnappings before, but what makes this one unusual is that he's very quickly aware that there's some choreography in this kidnapping-murder scenario. Beamon has instincts for the offbeat, and he detects what's wrong with this picture right away. The crime scene looks as if Jennifer's parents may have killed themselves. But why?
