On leave from criminal work after testifying in a harrowing case of multiple murder Portia is trying to concentrate on her private practice and volunteer counseling at the Help Line. But when the full-scale investigation team at a loss for leads makes a public appeal for help Portia - oddly missing the very stresses from which she has purposely withdrawn - decides to volunteer her services and return to the media-filled not to mention dangerous life of forensic investigation. When two more women in helping professions are murdered Portia realizes that she's dealing with nothing less than a serial killer someone with simultaneous needs to be caught and to outsmart the authorities. And as she tries to get inside his mind and determine his identity she has no idea how close he may be or how cleverly he is manipulating her. In the end before the killer is unmasked Portia will be fighting for her life.
