traditional fairytales for a teen audience - not for the
faint-hearted
Stand-up comic Dave Feener has a great rapport with his audience,
so when his body is found maliciously stabbed a short distance away
from The Laff Attak where he's just performed, there seems to be no
real motive for the brutal murder. A serial killer who does not
think local comics are funny has just begun his rampage.
Constables Mike Borneo and Lissa Cassway along with detective
Vince Vetters are racing to find the killer before he claims
another victim. Was Feener just in the wrong place at the wrong
time? Left with his wedding ring and his wallet, Feener's body
isn't even cold when the killer strikes again-this time stabbing
Phil Vetters, a comic known for his redneck shtick and the brother
of detective Vince Vetters. Just as Vince vows revenge, the killer
makes a fateful mistake when he stabs another comic and does not
ensure his victim is dead before he leaves the crime scene.
The killer is a sicko, but not an idiot. He's right under
everyone's noses and the anticipation of a righteous kill is all
just part of the fun. Only time will tell if the killer will have
the last laugh.
