Main Character: Malcolm Kier, Angie Carlson, Eva Rayburn, James Dixon

Detective Kier Malcolm and high-profile criminal attorney Angie Carlson come up against a brutal and brilliant psychopath who leaves behind only the gleaming white and perfectly preserved bones of his victims.  Kier—and most of the Alexandria law enforcement—believe the murderer is Dr. James Dixon.  Angie recently defended Dr. Dixon in an earlier murder trial—and won.  With the entire police force blaming her for Dixon’s freedom, she too has doubts as to whether he was in fact innocent, and is becoming more and more convinced that the police may be right—she helped let loose a killer. 

 As lead after lead dead-ends, a young man claiming to be Eva Rayburn’s half-brother shows up, bringing with him the diary of her dead father.  Suddenly, two things become shockingly clear—the killer has always intended to make Angie his ultimate victim, and the madness has roots going back to the Sorority House Murder over a decade ago.
