Once the bodies of young women start to mount up Inspector Terry Holland could feel the pressure building. To her these are not just unfortunate women, she has an affinity with them. She finds with every rape she is living her own past. It is a past that is not only with her every waking moment but haunts her dreams as well. She needs to find out what is driving this monster, how does he select his victims and what is his motive. This is perhaps one of her most challenging cases and one that might break her.
