As the seasons turn, the city's celebrations are repurposed into altars: Easter lilies branded into lashes, Fourth-of-July bones raised like flags, and-worst of all-Thanksgiving \"Grace\" kits appearing on doorsteps with candles, place cards, and instructions for a blessing that is really a blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith partner \u003cb\u003eMia Rourke\u003c\/b\u003e and reporter \u003cb\u003eLena\u003c\/b\u003e drawn into the crosshairs, Voss has to tear the cadence out of the killer's hands.
