Now she'd have to fumble her way down the stairs. With one hand firmly round the handrail she started her descent, feeling her way with her feet before treading down the next step. Half way down she got a peculiar feeling of not being alone. Reluctantly, she put one foot down the next step... A string of brutal murders rages the City, and at the same time there's an unexplainable increase of suicides. It means a lot of extra work for DC Dwayne Miller and his friend and colleague, Hank Morrison.

Together with her friend Abigail Williams she then secretly starts working towards finding an answer - even though intuition warns her that a disaster is nearing. Suddenly her two friends are led into a cynical killer's web...
