In a sleepy coastal town north of Boston, a serial killer selects its
victims using a unique code of ethics...
Detective Stanley Devonshire is uncovering a trail of evidence in an
attempt to determine exactly how the killer has managed to continue on
its horrific rampage undiscovered for what appears to be eighty years
with the exact same pattern.
At the outset, there is no discernible thread of reason connecting the
killings. So Stan enlists the help of his longtime friend from
Marblehead, Detective Mark Brown. Stan is also joined forcibly by a
stunning state police officer and an imposing federal agent who follow
him along on a journey of revelation twist after convoluted twist.
Devonshire is certain he is close to solving the cases stacking up on
his desk, but in his attempt to identify the illusive killer he may
become the hunter's next victim.
