Serpent's Kiss

In a quiet Midwestern city...

A community is coming apart at the seams. He is a mild-mannered academic turned serial killer being hunted for crimes he doesn't recognize as his own. She is a TV anchorwoman losing the ratings game - and the only person who understands the evil that drives him. Between them, an innocent young girl's life hangs in the balance....

In an empty apartment somewhere in the city...

He has found a manila envelope that holds gruesome portraits of his deeds. Notes inside tell him of his next, unspeakable act. Despite himself, he will follow these instructions as if they were his own....

In the dark street shadows...

The police scramble furiously to understand him...to stop him. While a TV reporter is onto the story of a lifetime. She knows who he is...and who his next victim will be. What she doesn't know is how little time she has left - and how terrible is the power of The Serpent's Kiss....
