Detective Sergeant Pete Giovanni stumbles upon a cold case involving a chic, beautiful California college graduate. He soon finds out that a sordid trail of lies, murder, deception, and heart-wrenching romance leads to one man-Steve Hernandez! Bedecked with the fame and opulence most mortals can only dream about, Hernandez uses his vast family fortune to lure many unsuspecting women into his deadly tentacles. The psychopath has his sights set on another bright, young university graduate, Melinda Fallow, but Detective Giovanni has other ideas.

With multiple aliases and surreptitious underworld contacts at his command, this roving killer flees to London. He continues his murderous rampage by tainting a scenic North Yorkshire valley trail with the blood of another victim. Detective Giovanni teams up with his London counterparts to find this maniac before he strikes again!
