Frank Quinn was once New York City's top homicide detectiveâuntil a setup forced him into early retirement. Now running his own detective agency, he assists the NYPD on some of their most disturbing cases . . .
A woman's body is found in Central Park drained of blood, dismembered, and reassembled. Her killer is a cold man who enjoys taking things apart to figure out what makes them tick. And this is only the beginning of his destructive, bloody plan. Before he is finished, he will try to see what makes Frank Quinn tick, and what makes him break.
