“This killing will be a model of perfection. An
accomplishment to be proud of. And it could be tonight or
maybe next week. But it will be soon. I promise.”
The anonymous phone calls indicate a disturbed mind with an
unnatural passion for death. Cooper and Fry are hoping
against hope that the caller is just a harmless crank
having some sick fun. But the clues woven through his
disturbing messages point to the possibility of an all-too-
real crime . . . especially when a woman vanishes from an
office parking garage.
But it’s the mystery surrounding an unidentified female
corpse left exposed in the woods for over a year that
really has the detectives worried. Whoever she might have
been, the dead woman is linked to the mystery caller, whose
description of his twisted death rituals matches the
bizarre manner in which the body was found. And the mystery
only deepens when Cooper obtains a positive I.D. and learns
that the dead woman was never reported missing and that she
definitely wasn’t murdered. As the killer draws them closer
into his confidence, Ben and Diane learn everything about
his deadly obsessions except what matters most: his
identity and the identity of his next victim. . . .
