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 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 2007Patti, 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.
