Picking up where book #1 left off. Slow Joe is now in prison awaiting trial for being the Christchurch Carver. He has a plan to be found insane so he can leisurely spend a couple of years at the mental institution instead of life in prison. Manipulating his psychiatrist with well thought out scenarios, she sees through the "slow" act & gets him to admit some things from his childhood. Detective Schroeder has lost his job & is now consulting on reality TV series about crime scene cleaners and works with a fake psychic. Trying to alleviate his guilt from not recognizing Joe as the killer has left him yearning to find bodies and solve some loose ends. Digging at the bottom of the barrel he & the psychic have an offer for Joe from the TV studio to find a body. Joe sees his chance to break free, along with his psycho girlfriend plotting her own plan, a murderous father with evil intentions, & a whole city that's debating on death penalty or life. Slow Joe has his work cut out for him and also some startling revelations from his mother. A wild ride
