Detective Inspector Andrew Hicks thinks he knows all about murder. For Detective Hicks, however horrific the act, the reasons behind a crime are usually all-too-explicable. So when a woman is found bludgeoned to death, he suspects a crime of passion and focuses on her possessive ex-husband. But when a second body is found, similarly beaten, Hicks is forced to think again about his suspect, as the pieces don't add up. When more murders take place in quick succession, Hicks realizes he is dealing with a type of killer he has never faced before, one who fits nowhere within his logic. Fear spreads as the police search for patterns and reasons where none appear to exist. Then the letters begin to arrive...As the death toll rises, Hicks must face not only a killer obsessed with randomness and chaos but also the secret in his own past. If he is to stop the killings, he must confront the truth about himself and the fact that some murders begin in much darker places than he ever imagined.

"Thoroughly engrossing, riveting, and filled with surprises." -Midwest Book Review In the heart of Cleveland, Lieutenant Stacy Tavitt faces the chilling aftermath of an overzealous decision. Thrust into the shadows of a botched undercover operation, Stacy emerges from an attack that leaves her for dead in the icy embrace of the river. Six months of recovery later, she's back on the force, but her comeback case is as cold and perplexing as the waters she was rescued from. The city is reeling from the murder of Devon Baker, a star player for the Cleveland Browns, and with forensic evidence scarce, the mystery deepens. Stacy, with her sharp instincts back in play, dives into the investigation, threading through a maze of dead ends and dangerous secrets. The killer, emboldened by Stacy's previous misstep, lurks in the shadows, weaving a sinister plot not just against her but those she holds dear. Each clue Stacy uncovers binds her closer to a truth too horrifying to conceive-the killer might be wearing a familiar face, one soaked in betrayal and hidden in plain sight. As the investigation spirals into a deadly cat-and-mouse game, Stacy is forced to confront her past decisions and their haunting consequences. Can she outsmart a murderer who's always one step ahead, or will her second chance at justice slip through her fingers like the cold, elusive river currents?

Author and Charlene appeared on the Sally Jessy Raphael show on April 11, 2002. Lewis Junior High, now a Middle School, where three hired killers attempted to kill Charlene as she sat waiting in her car for school dismissal. She was like "a sitting duck," said the judge who called Floyd "a pretty greedy husband" who victimized his wife in front of a school, of all places motivated to collect 3/4 of a million dollars." The students at Lewis Junior High School crowded around the exit door but were locked in. They clamored to see who had been shot. "Jericha, look! It's your mother! They got her!" A dating service brought Floyd and Charlene together. During their courtship Floyd charmed, romanced and lied his way into Charlene's heart, convincing her to become his "forever girl". Thus began the story of a woman whose dreams for a long and love-filled marriage became hellish nightmares of threats, violence and eventually, her attempted murder. Using code words was Floyd's way of life. Only Floyd and his best buddies knew what they meant. He even had a code for murder. When the hitmen completed their mission of murder in front of Lewis Junior High School where Charlene was waiting for one of her daughters, they paged him with that code as the contract demanded. But, they botched the job and Floyd got caught. At the trial, snickers floated through the packed courtroom as the defense lawyers derisively repeated "Wahbee, Wahbee", what the prosecution claimed was Floyd's code for the hit. Only it wasn't funny to Charlene. She knew who had made it up and what it meant. The challenge was how to prove it.

So when the brutally beaten body of a young woman is found, his attention focuses closely on the ex-boyfriend. But then more bodies start appearing, all beaten beyond recognition, and there is no connection between any of the victims. Because this is a new type of killer, one who revels in chaos.
