Maggie is an artist that works independently with the police as a sketch artist. She has the amazing ability to talk to a victim, walk a crime scene and produce a drawing that is a perfect likeness of the criminal. Seattle women are currently being hunted by a serial rapist. He is abducting the women, blinding them, and raping them leaving them for dead in abandon buildings. Maggie has been unable to get a feel for this animal and is unable to assist the police since all of the victims have been unable to give any details except that he smells like Ivory soap and that he has a spearmint scented breath.

John is the brother of one of the victims of the blindfold rapist. His sister Christine is dead by her own hand or so the police think. John thinks otherwise and comes to Seattle to follow the investigation and bring in a few friends (Shadow Series) to help tract down the rapist before he starts killing as well.

The police have no clues as to who the rapist is and who he will strike next. Their investigation takes them in all kinds of directions including the fact that these crimes are real similar to crimes that were unsolved from 1934. The victims of the 1934 rapist look almost like twins to the present day victims. What is the link?
