Detective Jose Ramirez and the Sierra Hills Police Department are scrambling for leads on a killer who has already struck five times, each time leaving his signature trademark: large butcher knives piercing the abdomens of his young female victims. Profiling the killer is proving to be difficult, and Detective Ramirez knows that it’s only a matter of time before their perpetrator strikes again. As if Ramirez isn’t frustrated enough, he is assigned a partner, to his dismay. Officer Daniel Chatham, a handsome young man fresh out of grad school, has pulled some strings to join the division and becomes Ramirez’s right-hand man. The lead detective’s anger slowly dissipates as he discovers that the book smart kid can be quite the asset. With Ramirez’s experience, Chatham’s sharp mind and quick thinking, and the insight of Erin Sommers, a beautiful young journalist, the three make a powerful team gaining on their criminal. It’s raining …it’s pouring, and a killer is on the loose in the rainy Sierra Hills of Washington State. No one is who they seem, and the plot thickens with every turn. You’ll never guess the ending of this enigmatic tale.
