She was found on Blue Avenue in Jacksonville wrapped in plastic. Byrd recognizes the woman as Belinda, a woman he had an intense summer of love with twenty five years ago. Belinda is the third woman found this way with the first two being prostitutes. BB is determined to find out what happened to Belinda over the past twenty-five years and what led to her death. He’ll work with his old friend to help stop a madman before he strikes again.

When Bill Higby, the detective whose testimony helped convict him, is facing how own murder charge, Dast is torn between revenge and doing the right thing.
