Serial killer, Malcolm Penn, is ending his most enjoyable one year stay in the city of sin. Little does he know there is a force closing in on him. Renowned private detective Dustin Pitt's income depends on the insurance firms he assists, but his true passion is in closing criminal cases that have baffled the police. Yet, there is one criminal who has persistently eluded him: a serial killer of unequaled mobility and flexibility. Malcolm Penn is not tied to any location. Each year he has moved to a new city. Best of all, he enjoys changing his modus operandi with each relocation. He has mimicked a different historic serial killer in each metropolis he terrorizes. Las Vegas Mayor Cynthia Barber has agreed to allow Pitt and his team to assist the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police in their pursuit of this villain. But the problem is more critical than it has ever been, because Malcolm is now changing his MO with each victim. His year in "Las Vegas" is almost up and if his pattern holds, he will shortly be off to another hunting ground. Pitt will either catch him very soon, or many more will die. Pitt's frustration sharpens. The bodies accumulate. The mayor draws near to panic. And freedom is running out for Malcolm.
