Неужели Рамсей стал жертвой судебной ошибки и настоящий преступник по-прежнему разгуливает на свободе?

Серийный убийца - или умный, циничный преступник, следующий хитрому плану?
В растерянности не только полиция маленького городка, но и подключившиеся к расследованию частные детективы и бывшие агенты ФБР Шон Кинг и Мишель Максвелл.
Сначала им кажется, что в городке объявился маньяк - из тех, что копируют преступления самых известных серийных убийц прошлого. Потом становится ясно: многие жертвы имеют отношение к местному миллионеру Бобби Бэттлу, тоже павшему от руки убийцы. К человеку, ненавидеть которого имели основания очень и очень многие.
Так значит - мотив все-таки есть?
Но тогда - в чем он?
Пока Шон и Мишель не поймут это, преступника им не остановить...
