The staff of the state hospital for the criminally insane in Davis County, Mississippi, had seen a lot in their time--but nothing like the savage killing of Judith Salter, one of their nurses. And with three escaped inmates on the loose, there was no telling which of them the butcher was--or who the next victim would be.
Even worse, as the danger and terror grew apace, the only eyewitness to the nurses's death--a psychopathic mass murderer--began to reveal a fearsome agenda of his own.
