Last Known Victim
Erica Spindler
In August 2005, amid death and destruction, hurricane–savaged New Orleans has a new dark force to fear
As the rescue efforts unfold, a grisly discovery is made at one of the massive refrigerator 'graveyards.' One of these metal hulks contains six human hands – all female, all right hands. The press has dubbed the unknown predator 'The Handyman'.
Captain Patti O'Shay is a straight–arrow, by–the–book cop who is assigned to the case. But her tough, unflinching character is fractured when her husband and fellow police captain is found murdered.
In August 2007 Patti, still grieving and disillusioned, gets a call from homicide: skeletal remains have been unearthed in City Park. The unknown victim – a female – is missing her right hand. But for Patti, this grave holds something even more shocking: beside the victim's bones is her husband's police badge.
Patti is fearless, but so is the killer. As he stalks her she is forced to question all she believes in, to doubt the code she has lived by because she knows that if she doesn't find The Handyman first, she will become his last known victim.
Erica Spindler weaves a masterful tale of murder and suspense against the backdrop of a city transformed by disaster. It is a story you will not soon forget.
