On a stormy Chicago night, renowned semiotician Dr. Evan Wilding & his brother, River, reunite. A package addressed to both of them contains a hand-drawn maze, an ancient Cretan coin, & a cryptic, "Let the game begin." The opening move is murder. In a downtown alley, a man has been found nearly cut in 2, a symbol drawn on his forehead & a savage bite to his throat. Given the clues, Evan sees a parallel to a fearsome Greek myth, The Minotaur. Which means his friend Detective Addie Bisset is on the trail of a dangerous & unrepentant serial killer.
