[This is the Audiobook CD Library Edition in vinyl case.] Cincinnati homicide detective Will Borders now walks with a cane and lives alone with constant discomfort. He's lucky to be alive. He's lucky to have his job as public information officer for the department. But when a star cop is brutally murdered, Borders is assigned to find her killer. The crime bears a chilling similarity to killings on the once peaceful college campus nearby, where his friend Cheryl Beth Wilson teaches nursing. The two young victims were her students. Most homicides are routine, the suspects readily apparent. But there are no obvious suspects in this new case. The unlikely pair of Detective Borders and Professor Wilson must team up once again to pursue a sadistic predator before there are more killings.
