Seasoned detectives Todd Grazer and Hector Corona, with the Miami Dade Police Department, are known for being the best at what they do; they always get their guy. Suddenly, however, they are stumped. Two murders occur, at the same time, across town from each other-and evidence suggests that the same perpetrator committed both crimes. Soon, more victims appear. They share one similarity: each body is numbered in backwards English, written in the victim's blood. The MO is the same, but how can one man commit so many murders in so little time-and be in two places at once? Their search takes them down mysterious paths with only one solution: something supernatural is at work in Miami. Past cases come back to haunt them as they continue their hunt for the relentless killer. The bodies pile up, and they're no closer to their perp. Have Grazer and Corona become personally invested in this case? It would appear so, as the mysterious killer now sets his sights on them.

Putney, Vermont owes much to its early farming settlers who established the town's spirit of hard work and ingenuity, and to its mill workers whose labor sustained the town's economy for over 200 years. Agricultural advances, social experiments, and a devout commitment to education and artistry helped this community earn world renown with such institutions as the Putney School, America's first co-ed boarding school; Landmark College, the only U.S. two-year college devoted to students with learning differences; the Yellow Barn, an international music school with a famous annual music festival; and the Experiment in International Living. Putney celebrates its 250th anniversary in 2003, marking a tradition of overcoming internal strife and economic hardship to prosper through innovation and industry.
