Description
The media calls it the beginning of a “Serial Summer.” Someone’s killing young women in New York City. Fresh from the case that nearly ended his career, NYPD Homicide detective John Keegan is thrust into a series of murders looking more and more like the workings of a copycat.
Pressure comes from several areas. One of the victims is the granddaughter of a powerful Senator who follows Keegan’s work throughout the case. The mayor fears the murders will affect his successful anti-crime initiative in a re-election year. Keegan’s boss, passed over for a promotion, is eager to put this case to rest and secure a position higher up in the department.
Keegan’s partner disengages himself from the investigation, forcing Keegan to make rash decisions about the case and his partner. When the killer strikes close, new suspects arise and a cop will end up in handcuffs. The killer not only knows how to elude capture, they know the police and their moves. They also play the game of blackmail perfectly.
Before he solves the case, Keegan will be forced to analyze everything about his life and the people he loves.
