Description: Guilt and grief have driven a wedge between the long-time crime-fighting partners, clinical psychologist Tony Hill and police detective Carol Jordan. But just because Tony and Carol aren't talking doesn't mean the killing stops. Someone is killing women. Women who bear an unsettling resemblance to Carol Jordan. The connection is too strong to ignore and soon Tony finds himself dangerously close to the investigation, just as the killer is closing on his next target. This is a killer like no other, hell-bent on inflicting the more severe and grotesque punishment on his victims. When the evidence begins to point in an unthinkable direction, Tony and Carol are forced to work together as never before, fighting to save not just the victims, but themselves.
