In Arizona a man named Tom Everett who operated a filling station had been brutally beaten before his throat was cut.
In Indiana a man named John Miller who ran a contracting company had been killed in exactly the same way.
In New York a man named Perry Hayward who worked in an advertising agency died in terrible agony.
In Louisiana a man named Peter Labouisse who owned a fishing boat was mutilated before his jugular vein was slit.
And the link between these murders was a beautiful, fiery woman called Angelina. Durell had to get to her first, find out what she knew, and save her from the depraved sadism of the hired killers, the cool cunning of the inquisitors.
