What does a serial killer and three disgruntled ex-wives have in common? A hardboiled detective on the brink of psychosis. Notorious Detective Michael Malone anxiously awaits his retirement . . . as does the majority of Manhattan South's Law Enforcement Division. Thrown into leading the search for a high-profile serial killer, Malone immediately questions his adversarial Captain's motives. As the body count mounts, Malone fights the distractions that surround him . . . guilt involving his ex-partner's debilitating injuries, nightmares related to a previously convicted psychopath's possible escape, and a last chance at love that drops out of the blue. What he initially perceives is a vendetta against an incongruous author, as each suspect turns up dead just as he and his team are closing in, Malone soon speculates something much more sinister is in play.
