The Pattern and Recognition (PAR) group of the FBI is made up of a group of brilliant misfits, all of whom have done something to anger the higher ups. Perhaps the most brilliant of them and also the most socially awkward is Gardner Camden. But he is also the most honest and the most dedicated to the FBI. When a serial killer starts killing serial killers- one of whom Camden thought had died 8 years earlier - the PAR unit is given the case and the typical bureaucracy that exists in organizations such as the FBI plays an important role in the story and Camden is put to the test. Hopefully, this is the start of a new series with Gardner Camden and his cohorts.
