"You can't put it down. ... a riveting thriller ... Ham has created a serial killer who will haunt your nightmares. ... a mesmerizing book ..."
-Florida Today Book Review

When seventeen-year-old honor student Sara Ann Riley mysteriously vanishes from the driveway of her Cocoa Beach, Florida, home, her family is devastated. Sara's parents, Adam and Valerie, are hopeful that she'll return home alive. But days later, Sara's nude body is discovered; the killer has carved the initials CXJ into her forehead.

The terror for this small town escalates when the killer abducts and kills Tami Breckenridge. The details of both Sara's and Tami's murders resemble that of a case from twelve years ago when a Magee, Mississippi, teenager was found strangled in 1989 with the same initials inscribed on her forehead. With few clues available, local authorities call on the FBI for assistance to track down this serial killer before he takes another young life.

For the Riley family, the horror doesn't end. The killer calls their home and torments them. Adam and Valerie fear for the safety of their other daughter, Dawn. As a father, Adam vows to protect his family and his only surviving daughter.

The nineteen sixties and seventies were not only a turbulent time for America, but for a whole generation of America's youth as well. From the heights of Viet Nam to the birth and death of the Hippie movement, from the madness of the Chicago Convention to the surreal years leading to Watergate, the community that was America began to dissolve. For Keith Neal the emotional disconnect began in his youth, and his sense of loss was destined to overwhelm him...until he found his expression and his connection to the humanity around him through poetry. It was his voice Keith's story is one of separation, and ultimately tells the tale of the tragedy of our times and our inability to remember that we... Americans... humans...are more than individual organisms fighting to gain the most toys, but we are a species that requires connections... associations...community. Keith's story is the story of our times.
