In October 1996, women began vanishing off the streets of Poughkeepsie, New York. All were young, pretty and petite. Most were hustlers and crackheads. By August 1998, as the toll reached eight, a victim's mother said bitterly, "When they find one they will find them all." She didn't know how horrifyingly right she was.
At the height of the manhunt, prostitute Christine Sala, hysterical, told police she had barely escaped being strangled by Kendall Francois, middle school hall monitor whose slovenly personal hygiene had earned him the nickname "Stinky." When caught, Francois said that he'd killed the women because they hadn't given him all the sex he claimed he'd paid for.
Investigators in white bio-azard suits entered the house where Francois lived and found eith female corpses, almost all decomposed. Some were placed in plastic bags togther in the attic. Others lay in shallow graves in the crawl space under the house. It was such a tangle of rotting flesh and bones, even the investigators couldn't tell how many bodies there were. Now, sentenced to life in prison without parole, the man whom others dismissed a smelly oaf had finally been unmasked as one of the most bizarre serial sex-killers of modern times.

He slips into their homes at night and walks silently into bedrooms where women lie sleeping, about to awake to a living nightmare. The precision of the killer''s methods suggests he is a deranged man of medicine, propelling the Boston newspapers to name him "The Surgeon."

Now this new killer is re'creating, with cilling accuracy, the details of Cordell's own ordeal. With every new murder he seems to be taunting her, cutting ever closer, from her hospital to her home. Her only comfort comes form Thomas Moore, the detective assigned to the case. But even Moore cannot protect Cordell from a brilliant hunter who somehow understands, and savors, the secret fears of every women he kills...
