Thomas Perry

"Jack Till, a retired LAPD homicide detective, now works as a private investigator, comfortable chasing down routine cases and caring for his daughter with Down Syndrome. But when the parents of a recently murdered young woman ask for his help when the police come up empty, it touches a nerve within Till, who reluctantly takes the case. The victim worked as a high-class prostitute and, as Till digs deeper, he finds she is one of several young female escorts killed in different cities in the same manner--all with strawberry blonde hair, all shot with a 9mm in the sanctity of their homes. To find the killer Till must navigate the secretive online escort business, decoding ads placed by women who use false names, advertise using other women's pictures, and are constantly on the move. And, more importantly, stop a psychopath cunning enough to get close to women who keep their guard up at all times. Yet the man Till is after is more dangerous than he can imagine and, as the body count rises, Till must risk his life to find this ruthless killer whose murderous spree masks a far deadlier agenda."--Front flap of jacket
