Dr. Jessica Coran, Medical Examiner and forensic profiler is called in on a case in Marietta, Georgia to help track down the elusive Eye-Snatcher, a gruesome serial killer who leaves his victims to choke to death on their own gouged out eyeballs.

Jessica had dealt with all manner of the cruelest and most vile human monsters to walk the streets and alleyways of America, but no monster like Roadkill Joe has ever crossed her path before--not in or out of a federal prison for the insane where he belongs. The chase ranges from a local truck stop to a university campus, a place called Scary Creek, a kayak encounter, a semi-truck car chase to a haunted homestead. 

The story path has more twists and turns in it than an Indian path paved over with gravel and skirting through a forest in the darkest areas of Georgia and the human psyche.
