A peaceful village torn apart by murder.
In the small, close-knit village of Oakhurst, residents aren't willing to believe that one of their own might be a brutal killer.
So when young women begin to die - their bodies found with accusatory words carved onto their skin - suspicion falls on the newcomer to the village. Charming Zack Wild, author of violent crime novels and possessor of a dark history, seems like a perfect suspect.
As they investigate, Sergeant Mitchell and Constable Turner are increasingly unwilling to believe that someone they know could be responsible for such heinous crimes. But will this affect their judgement, allowing the real killer to escape?
