Publisher's Synopsis
Tough, taut, and terse, this crafty crime novel challenges Chicago police detective Jimmy Parisithe sharp, no-nonsense cop who first appeared in Cutterwith two terrible crimes separated by three decades. Thirty years ago, in the 1960s, seven student nurses met death at the butchering hands of an assailant who went unapprehended by the investigating officer Jake Parisi, Jimmy's father. While Jake did uncover prime suspect Carl Angelin, he soon found himself without any witnesses; they'd all disappeared. Then so did Angelin. Now a frighteningly similar massacre has occurred, and Jimmy Parisi is racing against time and Angelin to locate the sole surviving witness of the original massacre, who's been hidden by the FBI in a remote mental hospital. Only she can finger Angelin and bring justice to the seven victims and Jimmy's tragically dead father.
