She was found in the local diner. Brutally murdered. Ritually mutilated.
And she will not be the last.

The sleepy town of Heartsdale, Georgia, is jolted into panic when Sara Linton, paediatrician and medical examiner, finds a woman dead in the local diner.

Police chief Jeffrey Tolliver - Sara's ex-husband - is in charge of the investigation, and when a second victim is found, crucified, only a few days later, both Jeffrey and Sara have to face the fact that the murder was not a one-off attack. What they are dealing with is a seasoned sexual predator. A violent serial killer…
