The autumnal tranquility of Smithtown, Ohio is shattered when Dr. David Bradley arrives home to find that his wife has been raped and murdered by an intruder who has left no clues behind except the words “May Day” painted in lipstick on his victim’s body. When the police later learn that another Smithtown resident has been raped and strangled in New York City, it becomes frighteningly clear that a cunning serial killer targeting Smithtown women is on the prowl. Newspaper reporter Sam Middleton is determined to help Detective Roger Hagstrom track down the assailant of his ex-wife’s best friend and everyone is asking the same question as the mystery unfolds: Who will the killer’s next victim be?

"Really Good Detective Story!" This is a really good, classic type, mystery/thriller/detective story, but set in small town Ohio instead of among hardened urbanites. In his 2nd novel, Wittenburg again uses his visual style of writing very nicely to draw the reader into the location and the story. I quickly got caught up in it, and had a hard time putting it down until the end. A good read!
"Excellent!!!" This is truly one of the best murder mysteries I've ever read! Right from the start, I was drawn in to this story and couldn't put it down! I highly reccommend Wittenburg's novel to anyone who likes an intriguing mystery with characters you can relate to (and fear)!
