A killer dubbed "The Night Prowler" has turned the city that doesn't sleep into a town kept awake by terror. Unseen, he enters couple's homes. Unsuspected, he lingers until the perfect moment arrives. He leaves "gifts" for his victims before taking their lives.

Enter ex-homicide cop Frank Quinn, still reeling in the wake of an elaborate setup that ended his career. For Quinn this isn't just any job it's a last chance to salvage his reputation. As the investigation preceeds, the murderer loses no time stalking new prey' a loan officer and her high earning husband; a couple who made a killing in the stock market; a pretty actress and her prosperous lover.

With the body count rising, it's up to Quinn to unlock the mystery of a madman's past and end his bloody reign. Quinn's got his work cut out because in a city the size of New york, any one of 8 million faces could be that of a killer or his next target.
