Amid death and destruction, hurricane-savaged New Orleans
has a new dark force to fear.
As the rescue efforts unfold, a grisly discovery is made
at one of the massive refrigerator "graveyards." One of
these metal hulks contains six human hands — all female,
all right hands. The press has dubbed the unknown
perpetrator "The Handyman." But with no way to trace the
origin of this refrigerator, and with the evidence lost to
time and the elements, the case dead-ends.
Captain Patti O'Shay is a straight-arrow, by-the-book cop
who is assigned to the case. Her tough, unflinching
character is fractured when her husband and fellow police
captain is found murdered — surprised by looters taking
advantage of the post-storm chaos.
August 2007
Patti, still grieving and disillusioned, gets a call from
homicide: skeletal remains have been unearthed in City
Park. The unknown victim — a female — is missing her right
hand. But for Patti, this grave holds something even more
shocking. Found beside the victim's bones is her husband's
police badge.
Casting aside the very "rule book" by which she has lived
her life, Patti is fearless — but so is the killer. As he
stalks her she is forced to question all she believes in,
to doubt the code she has lived by...because she knows
that if she doesn't find The Handyman first, she will
become his last known victim.
