Description by Author:
When Detective Cliff Husto investigates the
deaths of a well-respected couple in Houston, the meager evidence points to a
murder/suicide fueled by jealous rage.
But Husto’s instinct tells him otherwise.
He’d just stumbled onto the invisible trail
of a fiendishly clever mass killer. A homicidal maniac who leaves no physical
trace and no hint at a possible motive.
As several employees of the iconic
advertising agency Mathis & Oliver suddenly begin piling up dead, Husto
begins a tangled cross-country search that ultimately leads to a horribly
depraved family past, and a gruesomely executed present.
But time is running out to catch this Madman.
Because Cliff Husto, his lovely wife, their
two young sons, and Irish setter Reagan are next on the killer’s agenda!
