The sleepy town of Heartsdale, Georgia, is jolted into panic when Sara Linton, paediatrician and medical examiner, finds Sibyl Adams dead in the local diner. As well as being viciously raped, Sibyl has been cut. But it's only once Sara starts to perform the post-mortem that the full extent of the killer's brutality becomes clear. Police chief Jeffrey Tolliver -  Sara's ex-husband - is in charge of the investigation, and when a second victim is found, crucified, only a few days later they realise they are dealing with a seasoned sexual predator. A violent serial killer.
