What happens to a person who suffers from D.I.D.? Psychologists say a traumatic childhood can cause dissociative identity disorder, or a split personality. Is one personality aware of the other? Can one personality control the other? Some may react violently.
Philadelphia Police Detective Ben Considine, knelt down for a closer look at the body. He had never seen a victim with this much damage to the heart area. There was a massive hole where her heart should be. It appeared the killer had used something very heavy, like a pick ax, or some kind of digging tool. Her heart had not been cut out, but smashed out. Then, it looked as though, the killer used a pen knife, or a kitchen paring knife, to carve the letter "E" into her flesh.
The killer's M.O. looked like the famous "WHO" murders, out in Chicago, from fifteen years ago. Could it be possible the "WHO"murders killer, had come to Philadelphia? Could this be a "Copycat" murderer? If it was, he must have studied the "WHO" case to a tee. The M.O. was exactly the same, heart crushed, a letter of the alphabet carved in her flesh, totally nude except for high heels, but no damage to her face. It looked like the killer wanted everyone to know who she was.
Maybe, it was a woman. There were witnesses that said they saw a very tall woman each time right before the killings. One witness saw a tall blond right before the second victim was killed. Another witness said they saw a tall woman with red hair, before the third victim was killed.
Could it be a man dressed as a woman, wearing a different wig each time? Dressed as a prostitute, to go unnoticed?
Out in Chicago, Detective Bill Nichols heard about the Philadelphia murder and wanted to reopen the "WHO" murders case, which had been a cold case for at least ten years.
Three prostitutes were killed in less than a year. The first one was an unidentified older woman. She had a "W" carved into her flesh. The second with an "H" and the third with an "O", but they were identified.

Not much of a mystery.
I could talk about typos, grammatical and punctuation errors, which were disturbing to be sure, but such things happen. Although the regularity with which the author seemed to forget the subject of a sentence in the middle of it--like four people walked into a room, and then he did such and such--and left unpaired quote marks, so that a sentence begins as a third person narrative and ends as a quotation, or vice versa, speaks to a weird and extreme form of ADD. These flaws could be forgiven if the story had any mystery to it, if there was ever any doubt about who the killer was from the first chapter on. But, there wasn't. There were also gaping and impossible to ignore plot holes, like how a person could change their identity, yet later marry and become a member of a law enforcement agency without any memory of having done these things, since those activities require birth certificates and background checks, at least in most states. Sorry if this review seems like a spoiler, but the whole book was a spoiler. And the information offered by the characters who were "experts" on psychology was overly simplistic and decades out of date. But otherwise it was a good book.
