A killer on the loose...
The year is 1988 and there is a serial killer rampaging through New Orleans. His target-female musicians. His method-strangulation and rape. He never strays from his M.O., so why is there a woman claiming that she was molested by him and got away? He would never be so careless. She must be eliminated.
A man on a mission...
Detective EJ Danner has had one hell of a year. He needs a woman. He needs a drink. But most importantly, he needs to lock-up the madman who has been terrorizing his city and flaring up his ulcer. In walks a familiar woman-beautiful, infuriating, naive-and nothing about her story adds up.
A brilliant plan, until it's just not...
Ali has a fool-proof plan for notoriety-claim that she is the "victim that got away" in order to sell book rights, make a name for herself, and then be able to publish whatever she wishes! Hair dye-check. Made-up story-check. She just didn't account for the lead detective on the case to be so devastatingly handsome, brilliant, and her former forensics professor! A knack for talking to herself and getting into trouble-check.
