Deadline

by Michael Litchfield

A serial killer is on the rampage in one of the world's most famous university cities. But his victims aren't the traditional fodder of a conventional psychopath. This urban hunter is targeting a very different breed of woman—intelligent, professional trailblazers. And thrown into this melting pot of mass murder is ex-cop Luke Templeman, whose lawyer wife was the maniac's first victim. Now the killer is playing a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with Templeman, and when body parts start being delivered by the postman, the grisly struggle escalates into a desperate race against the clock.
