During the Great Depression, the city of Cleveland was
terrorized by more than the economic collapse. A madman
murdered and dismembered at least twelve people, probably
twice that. He was America's version of Jack the Ripper. He
was prolific. He was bloody. He was never caught.
These are facts.
Trail of Blood begins where history leaves off, and when
the series of murders begin over again, forensic scientist
Theresa MacLean must use her knowledge of Cleveland’s past
and forensic science to discover the secret behind these
frenzied crimes and keep history from repeating itself.
It would be impossible for the maniac to still be at
large—and active—today . . .
A decapitated body has been found in a sealed room in an
abandoned building—and forensic scientist Theresa MacLean
believes the decades-old corpse is a previously
unaccounted-for victim of the legendary psychopath. But the
discovery of a second body—newly slain and bearing the
unmistakable signature of the Torso Killer—suggests the
unthinkable: that a copycat serial killer is following in a
madman’s bloody footprints.
A long-dormant nightmare has been reawakened as a dark
history repeats itself. Theresa MacLean’s forensic
investigation has opened a door into a terrifying past—a
door someone desperately wants to keep closed . . . and will
keep killing to make it so.
