By Dennis Boyle

Book Overview

In a quaint resort town in the mountains of Northern Pennsylvania, a series of brutal murders shocks the community. Five women are savagely killed, their bodies gruesomely dismembered and left in pieces. The heinous nature of the crimes leaves investigators pondering whether they are dealing with a serial killer or something even more sinister.As pressure mounts to solve the murders quickly, an anonymous tip leads police to Russell Strait, a drifter drawn to the local ski resort. The police conduct a hasty search of his residence and discover evidence that seems to ensure an easy conviction.But defense attorney Edwin Reynolds, assigned by the county judge, harbors doubts. Familiar with challenging cases, Ed wrestles with personal demons while sifting through the murder details. He begins to question whether the police have apprehended the correct individual. Could the real killer still be at large, poised to strike again?A tense chess match unfolds between Ed and the murderer. Each strategic move is countered by another, leading to a climactic betrayal that threatens to overturn everything. With lives in the balance, the truth becomes a hard pill to swallow, perhaps too outlandish for the court or anyone else to believe.
