The only child of a celebrated prosecutor, Detroit socialite Carly Weston leads a charmed life... doing volunteer work... contributing to local charities... and lately, taking up photography. Then suddenly, without warning, her idyllic world explodes in shocking tragedy. Her father is found dead--murdered at the hands of a vengeance-seeking madman whose evil vendetta of terror and retribution has just begun. Now he is coming after Carly... calling her up at odd hours of the night... sending a mutilated, blood-red rose rose through the mail... watching and waiting and planning his final crime down to the last chilling detail. And Carly is running... running for her life from a crazed killer who'd become judge, jury--and exectioner.
