Book description
When the first body is found, mutilated and strangled on the
riverbanks, Philadelphia homicide detectives Kevin Byrne and Jessica
Balzano suspect yet another case of random urban violence. Then it
happens again. And again.
Carefully dressed and posed, each victim seems to tell a story so
gruesome that Byrne and Balzano struggle at first to make sense of the
killer's dark and twisted imagination. But when they stumble upon a
collection of old fairy tales, the fragile link between the murders
suddenly becomes clear - and with it the terrifying conclusion of the
killer's plan.
Desperately, they try to anticipate the madman's next move, but as
the body count rises, the killing spree spirals out of control ...
