This is the third book in the Karin Schaeffer series. After the trauma that filled her life as a detective in previous books, Karin is now working as a private investigator. She and Mac are married and they have a young son named Ben. Mac is suffering with the flu so on her way to the pharmacy she comes across a crime scene being working by her friend, police detective Billy Staples, who is suffering from a PTSD panic attack. He's been trying to track down a sadistic criminal, known as the Working Girl Killer, because he kills prostitutes.

There's another body in the same area, an eleven year old girl who is the apparent victim of a hit and run driver. When Karin goes to the girl's house to inform the family, she discovers her wealthy parents have been murdered. Karin begins to involve herself more and more with the crimes as events surrounding them continue to escalate. Before long, even her family is affected in a horrific way.

Karin is one of the most haunting characters I've ever read about. She's been shattered by death and pain and readers want her to be able to find some sort of peace. This wasn't my favorite of the four book series but I enjoy the characters and the well written story. ( )
