Hours later, a second woman is pulled out of the Crawfish River, another victim of a brutal killing. Chief Augie Austin, Columbus' top cop, suspects that he may be dealing with a serial killer. But, when the clues send him in two different directions, he realizes that is dealing with two murderers, not one.Austin's peaceful world is turned upside down, as he realizes that Columbus is not the unspoiled, perfect little town he thought it was. As he interviews witnesses and friends of the deceased, he finds himself up against one road block after another. People aren't talking and he wants to know why.As the evidence builds, Austin recognizes that it is pointing to one of his own officers. Already suspicious that this cop has been bending the rules for personal gain, Austin realizes that he may have a murderer patrolling his streets. Knowing he must tread carefully, Austin sets out to build a rock solid case against Officer Drollstrom - the Mayor's son.
