ABOUT
THE BOOK

In the quiet southern college town of Hillston, North Carolina, a young woman’s body is found – mutilated, tagged and addressed to Lt. Justin Savile V and Police Chief Cuddy R. Mangum. The media and the mayor demand a suspect but police have no idea who the victim is, and, worse yet, they have no leads. Their only clue is that she is wearing nothing but a Guess T-shirt, like another young woman found dead a few months earlier.
A voracious press christens the murderer “Guess Who” and terrifies the town with headlines about a serial killer. Soon afterwards, a third body is discovered in a nearby luxury resort. The aristocratic Savile and the wisecracking Mangum find themselves taunted, stalked and threatened by a sinister killer who clearly knows what matters most to each of them.
