Ruthless
Overview
Two deaths in just over a week or so. Was there a serial killer lurking out there? One early, gray morning, Detective Zack Townes gets an anonymous phone call about a dead body in a muddy field. At the crime scene, Townes finds that the victim is clenching a matchbook in his hand from a club the victim frequented the night before. With the evidence gathered at the scene, and, after a couple of interviews with those who are familiar with the deceased, Detective Townes believes the culprit is Billy Scearceuntil Billys body is found waterlogged in a lake. To add insult to injury, the detective receives more bad news when his boss, Chief Watts, assigns the rogue cop on the force to be his partner. The relationship between Detective Townes and Officer Casey is tenuous at best. And it only gets worse when another victim is found dead. With hope fading fast, Townes and Casey finally get the tip theyve been waiting for. Will they be able to stop the killer before he strikes again? A seasoned detective teams with a rogue cop to solve a series of murders in a small Virginia town. Detective Zack Townes is an ex-football player with children he rarely sees and a grown younger brother who hangs with the wrong crowd. After bodies start turning up in his town, his police chief inexplicably orders Townes to stop working with the capable rookies under his wing and pair up with Officer Casey, " 'a bad cop [who's] been before the probationary board more than any other police officer.' " This is the perfect recipe for a buddy-cop movie " -Kirkus Discoveries
