Dr. Charlotte Stone sees what others do not. A sought-after expert in criminal pathology, Charlie regularly sits face-to-face with madmen. Obsessed with learning what makes human monsters commit terrible crimes, Charlie desires little else from life, no doubt because when she was sixteen, she herself survived a serial killer's bloodbath : a man murdered the family of Charlie's best friend, Holly, then left the girl's body on a seaside boardwalk one week later ....

Bartoli suspects that after fifteen years, the Boardwalk Killer, or a sick copycat with his M.O. is back. Time is running out for an innocent kidnapped girl. (less)
