Riassunto

A small Georgia town erupts in panic when ayoung college professor is found brutally mutilatedin the local diner. But it's only when town pediatricianand coroner Sara Linton does the autopsy that the fullextent of the killer's twisted work becomes clear.

Sara's ex-husband, police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, leads theinvestigation -- a trail of terror that grows increasinglymacabre when another local woman is found crucified a fewdays later. But he's got more than a sadistic serial killer on his hands, for the county's sole female detective, Lena Adams -- the first victim's sister -- wants to serve her own justice.

But it is Sara who holds the key to finding the killer.A secret from her past could unmask the brilliantlymalevolent psychopath ... or mean her death.
