Seventy-five years ago, a madman nicknamed the Torso Killer
terrorized Cleveland. His horrific spree lasted four years
and crisscrossed the entire city. Overall, he was credited
with more than a dozen murders. And he was never caught.
Today, forensic scientist Theresa MacLean is called to an
abandoned building where a desiccated, decapitated body has
been found in a room that's been sealed off for years.
Although there's no immediate proof, everyone assumes the
same thing: that the newly discovered corpse was a Torso
Killer victim. The body has decayed beyond recognition,
leaving few forensic clues, but Theresa sees this as an
opportunity to shed some light on a big piece of Cleveland's
past that until now has been shrouded in mystery.
But then another body—this one recently deceased—turns up,
and all signs at the scene seem to indicate the work of a
new Torso Killer. Suddenly, Theresa's investigation takes on
a whole new meaning. Her examination of the old body has
opened a door to the past—a door someone wanted to keep
closed—and she shifts her focus from solving a historical
puzzle to catching a very dangerous, present-day psychopath.
But as the body count rises, Theresa finds herself nearer to
danger than she ever imagined. For the killer is keeping a
watchful eye on Theresa, and she begins to feel his presence
everywhere. Each step brings them closer and closer to each
other—at one point separated by no more than a speeding
train in a railroad switchyard—as Theresa scours the city in
her hunt for a murderous lunatic intent on reliving a
terrifying past.
