Stephanie Plum knows when trouble hits the town and she has her own way of hunting down the criminals. The criminals that she has chased in different parts of the series have been creatures beyond the reach of police or ordinary detective agencies. When the police and the detective agencies fail in arresting or tracking down a criminal, it is Stephanie Plum calls for help. Janet Evanovich has presented Stephanie as a savior for the people of the town in which she lives.
She has kept everyone safe on most occasions and now another killer has come to the town who appears to be a complete psychopath. He has started chopping out heads and is leaving headless bodies for the police to investigate. In the beginning, when Lorelei King starts narrating the story, it is just the dead bodies that are found without a head.
Then a person in the city is killed and his head is also chopped off. Plum knows that the problem is not that much simple anymore and she must stop the killer before he reaches his next victim. Full of blood scenes that exist in Going Rogue and Wicked Appetite too, this is the story that will make Plum toil for a long time.
She cannot rest because the men she has fallen in love with are also keeping an eye on her movement. The killer is not only mad, but he is also clever too because he is not leaving any kind of clues that might be able to provide any kind of lead to his hideout. The only way the criminal can be caught is to catch him red handed and for this the department needs bait.
