Overview
Chestnut Hill is one of Philadelphia's most upscale neighborhoods. But in one gleaming home, in a lavish bedroom, a young woman is found brutally murdered. The atrocity kicks off an investigation by police and an overzealous DA into a bizarre string of increasingly disturbing murders, all believed to be perpetrated by someone of unprecedented savagery-and cunning. As the city's panic rises, Teddy Mack, a civil attorney just out of law school, is thrown headlong into the grisly case-and into a world of corrupt justice where he quickly becomes the DA's next target. But then another young woman goes missing. A woman who might still be alive. And Teddy discovers something the police and DA never guessed. The serial killer has a secret. He's collecting something. Something twisted. Something horrific and vile. To end the madman's reign, and with the police and DA in full pursuit, Teddy enters the killer's maze-a place of unimaginable terror where human demons emerge-with a vengeance.
