From the back cover:
"Ginsburg has done a masterful job in portraying the pulse, the humanity, and the anguish of detectives struggling, unsuccessfully, to hunt down a latter-day Jack the Ripper." - Jonathan Kellerman-

"No one knows who he is, but he's out there, waiting for a chance to kill again...

It's one of the most shocking unsolved crimes of our time...For over a decade, the deadly presence of a serial killer on the loose has tainted the Connecticut River Valley region. He's killed at least six young woman- and eluded investigators time after time. Here is one of the most complex manhunts in true crime history- and a remarkable inside look at a riveting police investigation as you've never seen it before."

"A standout...Unusual for it's psychological depth and close-ups of exotic new forensics." - Kirkus Reviews

"Intruiguing...Ginsburg makes us truly understand the impact of these crimes beyond the body count." - New York Daily News

"Disturbing...Considering the number of unsolved killings in the U.S. this book is well worth one's time." - Booklist

"Ginsburg probe[s] into the hearts and minds of his characters- the police, the victims, the survivors-even the dark soul of the killer himself." - Mostly Murder
