A brutal murder in Savannah, two more in Charleston, another three in
Charlotte, all have two things in common, body organs missing and a mystic
symbol over the victim’s neatly sutured wounds.
Charlotte’s Chief of Police and psychiatric consultant Davis Morton, lure
forensic psychologist Nick Riley from his lecture circuit to assist in finding the
killer. Assisted by homicide detectives Caleb Barlow and Ed Robinson, Nick
bounces between Savannah, Charleston and Charlotte seeking and following
clues.
Smelling a major scoop, newswoman Lane Mc Bride bull noses her way into
the investigation. The stronger the scent, the more reckless she becomes in her
search for a story. What she finds is more than she bargained for.
Haunted by his failure to find the killer when the first victim surfaced in
Savannah, Nick now has five more failures to torment him. It becomes even
more personal when the wife of his best friend becomes a victim. Her
death, along with the unwelcomed involvement of Lane and SBI agent Mike
Reynolds, only make Nick’s job more difficult.
The cryptic, labyrinthine mind is a fanciful playground filled with breath taking
imagery and rides for which few dare buy a ticket.
