Travesty

In six counties lie numerous bodies, all with one thing in common—a tie around the neck of each victim. With a multicounty task force set up, the Washburn County Sheriff's Office finds itself in the middle of the mayhem when the body of an unidentified woman is found in a nearby lake.

A well-meaning local man insists he knows the woman, yet all signs indicate he's mistaken. But when a Chicago homicide detective charges into town and tries to take over the investigation, the whole case turns upside down.

With the people of southeast Wisconsin afraid to go out after dark, the task force kicks its search into high gear, yet the body count continues to rise. Working diligently day and night, the team finally catches the madman nicknamed "The Necktie Killer." Relief spreads through the counties, and life goes back to normal—or does it?

No one sees what's coming next...
