Police lieutenant Joe "Dart" Dartelli made one critical
mistake in his police career. Three years ago, he chose to
ignore a piece of evidence in a suicide case – a suicide
that may have possibly been a murder – because the dead man
was himself a vicious woman-killer who more than deserved
his fate. And the evidence that Dart ignored could have
raised difficult questions about his former mentor, the
brilliant forensic specialist Walter Zeller.
But another suicide victim turns up – the body of a wife-
beater – and Zeller has disappeared off the face of the
earth. With nothing to tie the deaths together except some
strange blood chemistry – and clear evidence that the death
was self-inflicted – the case is officially closed. Dart
knows that what’s best for him is just to let things lie.
There’s no proof; only two unrelated suicides. Cleared
cases. But Dart knows in his deepest heart that Zeller is
on some twisted vigilante crusade. And it’s going to happen
again. And only Dart can stop it.
