And this one was starting to look like the worst.  The other is a sex killer.  The kind who never gets caught, never leaves a clue.  And never runs out of new ways to make the pretty girls die.  Both men are deadly efficient at what they do.  The cop is supposed to play by the book.  But the killer isn’t playing…and the beautiful, terrified woman who is now caught between them isn’t ready for the final moves.’ (from rear wrap)
