Degenerate

by D. Patrick Carroll

Chief San Francisco D.A. Investigator Mary Dinosa awakens one morning to find her next door neighbor has been savagely raped, sexually mutilated and murdered in her own bed. She uses her position to become the head of the police investigation team and it soon becomes clear they are dealing with a serial killer. That is where the clarity stops as the investigation takes more twists and turns than the City's infamous Lombard Street. The investigation takes the team back some twenty years and begins with a pathetic little six year old girl hiding and shaking in the kitchen corner floor of a sleazy basement apartment. Along the way, Dinosa is forced to look at her own morality and motivations before the story's surprising and frightful conclusion. Good luck.
