O'Clair is a former Detroit
homicide investigator who now owns a motel in Pompano Beach,
Florida in his retirement. He runs the place with his much
younger girlfriend, Virginia, who's a knockout and can fix
anything. One morning, he's cleaning up after the previous
night's partiers when he sees a lovely young woman stretched
out asleep on a lounge chair. He shakes her gently. Then he
touches her neck and feels for a pulse. There isn't one. Her
skin is cold, body starting to stiffen, definitely in the
early stages of rigor.
When a second girl is murdered, O'Clair knows someone is
trying to send him a message. The way the girls are killed
reminds O'Clair of a case he investigated years earlier. Now
convinced the Pompano murders are related, O'Clair returns
to Detroit Police Homicide to review the murder file and try
to figure out what he might have missed.
And when Virginia is kidnapped by the killer, the stakes
grow exponentially higher.
