Her brand-new partner, Detective Uriah Ashby, doesn’t trust her sanity, and he includes a tale of his own he’d rather keep concealed. But a killer can be on the loose, murdering youthful women, therefore the detectives haven’t any choice: they must interact to catch the madman before he strikes again. And no one understands madmen like Jude Fontaine.
