In Our Darker Angel, the mystery begins with FBI Agent Rick Clark's investigation into a series of murders committed by a terrorist group identifying itself as ARC, Anarchists for Real Change. Terrorism has become a personal issue with Clark. Two years earlier, his daughter perished in a bombing orchestrated by EMMA, an acronym for Emergent Movement of Militant Anarchists. The ARC murders bear a striking resemblance to the killings by EMMA, as they, too, target the rich and powerful and morally bankrupt. There is one notable difference, though. ARC uses the Darknet to hire lowlife assassins to do their bidding.

While undertaking his investigation of ARC, Clark relies on the expertise, keen intuition, and psychological insights of Dr. Marty Robin, a forensics psychologist. Together, they research the backgrounds of the victims, while Marty attempts to construct profiles of the assassins. As Clark becomes more and more preoccupied with solving the ARC case, he is dragged down by personal ghosts. Fortunately, Marty manages to rescue him from his darkest hours and pull him safely to shore.
