She was the victim of an intricate plan of evil. Someone with a deranged mind, capable of controlling the thoughts and actions of others, scripted the torture, murder, and mutilation of her body. Hers should have been the only one. The killer hadn’t tried to evade capture. There were clues and tons of evidence intentionally scattered about the crime scene. In fact, the plan’s success depended on the killer's capture. However, a police force, ill-equipped to handle a case of that magnitude, bungled the initial investigation. The killer subsequently escaped. Or had he? The lead detective began receiving messages from the killer, taunting him for his inability to solve the case.
Help would come as a vacationing FBI agent read about the murder and offered help. But was she really there to help? As the investigation continued, more tortured and mutilated bodies appeared. There were minor differences between the original murder and the new ones, however. Those differences gave rise to suspicion they were now dealing with a copycat murderer. The lead detective’s rookie partner suspected the FBI agent was not who she claimed she was. He set out on a mission to expose her. The deeper he dug, the more he found from her past that caused him to trust her even less.
In the end, the coroner gave the detective a choice only he could make. Would he let a killer go free, or see the imprisonment of a close friend? Would he make the right decision? Could he?
Murder, intrigue, and evil forces would all play a role in an unholy act of ultimate revenge. Through seduction and satanic mind control, innocent people become pawns used to carry out the impulses of a modern day demon.
