From internationally bestselling author Colleen McCullough comes another gripping Carmine Delmonico thriller—a tense and atmospheric page-turner set against the unrest of 1968 America.
America in 1968 is in turmoil, and within the quiet suburb of Carew, fear is spreading. A brutal serial rapist is targeting women with chilling precision, and the community remains paralyzed by silence—until one victim finds the courage to go to the police. But as the investigation begins, the predator escalates from rape to murder.
Captain Carmine Delmonico faces one of the most troubling cases of his career. With no clear leads and tensions rising inside the Holloman Police Department, Carmine must navigate internal chaos as well as a cunning killer. A struggling lieutenant, a volatile sergeant, and the arrival of Helen MacIntosh—a striking and fiercely ambitious trainee with powerful connections—only complicate matters further.
As the killer closes in on his next victim, Carmine and his team race against time, drawing on every possible ally—including the determined neighborhood patrol known as the Gentlemen Walkers.
Rich in suspense, sharp characterization, and psychological intrigue, this is Colleen McCullough at her masterful best.
