Amid death and destruction, hurricane-savaged New Orleans has a new dark force
to fear.
As the rescue efforts unfold, a grisly discovery is made at one of the massive
refrigerator 'graveyards.' One of these metal hulks contains six human
hands—all female, all right hands. The press has dubbed the unknown perpetrator
'The Handyman.' But with no way to trace the origin of this refrigerator, and
with evidence lost to time and the elements, the case dead-ends.
Captain Patti O'shay is a straight-arrow, by-the-book cop who is assigned to
the case. Her tough, unflinching character is fractured when her husband and
fellow police captain is found murdered—surprised by looters taking advantage
of the post-storm chaos.
August 2007Patti, still grieving and disillusioned, gets a call from homicide:
skeletal remains have been unearthed in City Park. The unknown victim— a
female—is missing her right hand. But for Patti, this grave holds something
even more shocking. Found beside the victim's bones is her husband's police
badge.
Casting aside the very 'rule book' by which she has lived her life, Patti is
fearless—but so is the killer. As he stalks her she is forced to question all
she believes in, to doubt the code she has lived by—because she knows that if
she doesn't find The Handyman first, she will become his last known victim.
