Alan Ryker takes a varied approach in presenting this completely engrossing story.  He uses four different character points-of-view to further the plot along.  On the surface, we have the mystery of a vicious serial killer, but the story goes so much deeper than that with the emotional impact of each of the integral, key players.The end came a bit abruptly for my particular taste, but it does, in fact, tie up all of the connections satisfactorily.  Taking into account the narrative direction, the conclusion works well within this structure.In the end, I found it a fast-moving, emotionally charged novella, and eagerly await future tales from Mr. Ryker!  (I also recommend his novel, THE HOARD, as one of the creepiest, guaranteed-to-make-your-skin-crawl books that I read last year.)  :)
