Thriller Police Procedural | Thriller Serial Killer
In South Florida, Jack Carpenter is infamous. He's the cop
who busted the notorious serial killer Simon Skell -- aka
the Midnight Rambler -- and sacrificed his badge and
marriage in the process. Haunted by the Skell case,
Carpenter now works as an abduction specialist in Fort
Lauderdale, reuniting families with their missing children. But the body of one of the Midnight Rambler's victims has
just been uncovered -- and forensic evidence suggests
Carpenter jailed the wrong man. With Skell just days away
from release, the tarnished hero must reopen the case that
shattered his life and the lives of eight murdered women. As waves of heat and rain wash over the steamy streets,
Carpenter races against the clock to reaffirm the case
against Skell. Yet the deeper he digs, the more he starts
to realize that Skell is just one piece in a terrifying
puzzle of predation and murder, just one player in a
shocking conspiracy that ranges across the state of
Florida. And as the relentless Carpenter draws the net
tighter, his enemies prepare to spring a devastating final
surprise. From the seaside bar that Jack Carpenter calls home to the
glittering tourist kingdom in Orlando to the funky jungle
of Coconut Grove, James Swain unleashes a wild ride into
the heart of evil -- with the Rolling Stones' "Midnight
Rambler" as the throbbing, terrifying soundtrack.
