Description
The police call him... the working girl killer. But no woman is safe...
The 11th victim is found only a short distance from Karin Shaeffer's house. At the crime-scene she discovers a local prostitute stabbed to death, the knife left embedded between her breasts.
It is the signature of the 'Working Girl Killer' - a serial killer who has terrorised New York City for the last three years. The police are clueless but when Karin's best friend becomes the lead investigator, she finds herself drawn into the investigation as a consulting detective.
But next time the killer is going to strike all too close to home...
