Evil is lurking in the darkness...

Only a few moments passed when the realization hit her that she was going to die. She closed her eyes, tears forming in the corners, then trickling down the side of her face as she thought about the people she loved and would never see again. She prayed that it would be quick. But it wasn’t... When the body of young, attractive women began surfacing on the banks of the Ohio River, it was up to lead detective Jim Gardner and the FBI to find the killer. Stalking his victims in the historic Main Strasse Village of Northern Kentucky, the killer leaves no clues or witnesses to his horrific deeds, only lifeless forms along the water’s edge. As the investigation stalls due to lack of a suspect, Jim Gardner is reunited with the woman he has never stopped loving after a long one-year separation. Just as Jim’s life fills with happiness, fate thrusts him into a darkness that seemingly has no end. His beloved Bethany has become the latest target of the man he has been hunting. It becomes a race against time to find the killer before he loses her once again. And this time, forever.
