Veeper

Beale Street in Memphis was once the hunting ground for a sadistic predator who unleashed a four-year reign of terror that baffled law enforcement and revealed the deranged misogynist’s penchant for cult classic, B-movie horror flicks. Then, as so rarely happens, the killer went dormant leaving behind a string of dead-end cold cases. Twenty years later, an opportunistic tabloid columnist concocts a hoax that resurrects the erstwhile menace as the St. Louis Veeper. All of the evidence points to an unlikely suspect, the perpetrator of the ruse, Reid Demas. Stefanie Louden, the FBI profiler assigned to the case, delves into Reid’s fractured psyche only to find some disturbing, seemingly unsolvable dilemmas surrounding the central mystery. Did Reid Demas unwittingly unleash the beast or is he, in fact, the monster?
