Description: Girls are being hurt all over the city. Suddenly the very men who are hurting them are dying one by one. Someone is playing vigilante. Professor Theresa Lane has deep concern for these girls but no sympathy whatsoever for the men who hurt them. She's glad they are dead. She hopes more die. Theresa and her husband, Jake both teach at the local university. Theresa is a criminologist and Jake, an English Professor. Theresa is not quiet about her support for the vigilante and Jake becomes increasingly concerned about her dark thoughts and rage directed at the men who are being killed. As more killings occur, Detective Dana Blades and Theresa cross paths. Although Detective Blades has no leads, he is determined to stop the killer and asks Theresa for help. Vigilante justice is not the answer, according to Blades. As he investigates the cases, he discovers another side of himself that he never knew existed. He begins to understand the war against women; the violence they endure every day. Will this get in the way of catching the killer? Will Theresa help or hinder the investigation?--Publisher's website.
