Someone's killing pretty young women in New York City.
Each murder seems just like the last. The media is tagging
it as the beginning of a 'Serial Summer'. Only one cop would
have the bad luck to be assigned to the case.
Fresh from the case that nearly ended his career, NYPD
Homicide detective John Keegan is thrust into a series of
murders looking more and more like the workings of the serial
killer that the media is talking about.
Pressure comes from several areas. One of the victims is
the granddaughter of a powerful Senator. The mayor fears
the murders will affect his successful anti- crime initiative.
Keegan's boss, passed over for a promotion, is eager to
put this case to rest and secure a position higher up in
the department.
On top of that, Keegan's partner seems troubled and has
disengaged himself from the investigation, leaving Keegan
to come to his own conclusions about the case and his partner.
Before he solves the case, Keegan will be forced to analyze
everything about his life and the people he has around him.
Who can be trusted? Who should he be suspicious of? The
answers don't come easy, nor does the solution to what might
be the first serial murder case the city has seen in years.
