Clues are hard to come by, even when the total number of dead girls reaches six—and each murder has the same M.O. A University professor teaching Early English Literature during the day; at night we see him pursuing a more deviant diversion: murder. Detective Alice Barnes becomes obsessed with the case, determined to see the day when she will face the Little Girl Bride killer herself—via the butt-end of a Glock revolver.
