Two hunters discover a blood-drenched car on a remote mountain road, its owner riddled with buckshot. When Lt. Joe Kenda learns the car was reported stolen the day before, he follows its trail to a group of unlikely suspects, and follows them down a dark path of deception, lust and revenge.

Near Montreal, a husband comes home from work and finds his wife bound, gagged and shot in the head. There is no evidence of sexual assault or theft and police are left without a lead to go on. Some years later, police are called out to a crime scene very similar to the scene four years earlier, but this time they find that the killer has stolen the victimÕs bankcard. They trace the card to a convenience store and by ingeniously matching the security camera to the bank records detectives acquire an image of their prime suspect. Police quickly locate and arrest the man who promptly admits to both murders as well as the murder of a woman gone missing 7 years earlier.

In 1996, two women are murdered in the same Texas apartment complex. Authorities follow every lead, but the case goes cold. Three years later, DNA evidence and a seemingly unrelated crime lead authorities to the sadistic "Bathtub Killer."
