- that of a young woman
- is discovered just a few days later the pressure becomes almost unbearable. Two victims in less than a week should provide a host of clues but all Jesse runs into are dead ends. But what may be the most disturbing aspect of these murders is the fact that no one seems to care-not a single one of Weeks ex-wives not the family of the girl. & when the medical examiner reveals a heartbreaking link between the two departed souls the mystery only deepens. Despite Weeks reputation & the girls tender age Jesse is hard-pressed to find legitimate suspects. Though the crimes are perhaps the most gruesome Jesse has ever witnessed it is the malevolence behind them that makes them all the more frightening. Forced to delve into a world of stormy relationships Jesse soon comes to realize that knowing who he can trust is indeed a matter of life & death.
