One by one, attractive professional young women living in Chicago's Gold Coast have been found raped and murdered in their beds. Somehow the killer, or killers, manages to leave no evidence. Lieutenant Ed Slate and Sergeant Joe Barona, in the newly formed Major Crimes Section, begin to notice similarities in the crimes and take on what they suspect is a serial killer case.

National Academy, and has served as an expert witness. SOUVENIRS follows HIS HONOR and SPOT BLOOD in the Detective Ed Slate series, to be followed soon by STREET JUSTICE.
