This book's theme came to me a couple of years ago regarding a college teacher who teaches criminology, and there just happens to be a serial killer in his class. The killer is of mixed race who has been abused by the father. The killer, as you would expect, has this overwhelming desire to literally destroy the father. The story proceeds from there, throughout the winter semester, and into the spring and summer. You will be able to read about the two sides of the law and how they both proceed through this story and its culmination on a fateful night in July. You will read about a tortured family and the personal strife they go through. The father has also been abusing the mother for just about their whole marriage. You will also see the procedural aspects of the Murray Police in starting a task force and implementing their staff to surveil for several months with corresponding help from the Graves County Police.
