  • "After losing his fiancee in the GENERAL SLOCUM ferry disaster, Detective Simon Ziele transferred to a country town north of Manhattan in the hope of escaping his grief. But only months later he's faced with the shocking murder of a young girl - battered to death in her bedroom on an otherwise calm winter's afternoon. And when Alistair Sinclair, one of Columbia University's most noted criminologists, learns about the case, he realizes it bears an uncanny resemblance to the deranged mutterings of one of his research subjects. Ziele must work with Sinclair to determine whether his patient - with a terrifying history of violent behaviour and brutal fantasies - did indeed seek out this innocent young victim, before the vicious murderer strikes again."

A day's investigating leads him to Columbia University's noted criminologist, Alistair Sinclair, and one of his subjects, Michael Fromley, who has a history of violent behavior and brutal fantasies. But what would lead him to target Sarah Wingate, a notable mathematics grad student at Columbia? Is it really Michael behind the murder, or is someone else copying his signatures? This is what Simon Ziele must discover, with the help of the brilliant but selfinterested Alistair Sinclair, before the killer strikes again"
