A barbaric crime ushers a demented evil out of the shadows
On a dreary rain-soaked late September morning, Detective Sergeant Mickey MacKinnon, following up on a tip, finds a decomposing mutilated body on a rural property. The finding sets in motion one of the most bizarre and tragic murder investigations of MacKinnon's career as a homicide detective. As he pursues his inquiry, he not only learns that the perpetrator of this heinous crime is clever, methodical and seemingly a step ahead of the police, but suspects that he has killed before.
