"Sloane Pearson is new to the Sex Crimes Division in Chicago, and she's tired of being treated like the new girl by the guys who've been around. She's working a new case, a rapist who strangles women nearly to death. He catches them on building sites and vacant apartments-the likes of which are peppered all over downtown Chicago. The case intensifies when one of the victims turns out to be Sloane's realtor, a woman she didn't go meet that night. Now she's got herself to blame for another attack. And soon she's on her own: her partner claims she's in too deep. Her bosses vow to shut down the investigation altogether. And the victims fall away, one by one, reluctant to relive their horrors. As she finally untangles the case, taking her from the worst slums of Chicago's west side to the glittering Loop skyscrapers, Sloane is in so deep that she could become just another statistic, too"--Publisher's website
