The murder victims do not receive a lot of sympathy.
These killers have been on the move for two years. They target upper-class married men and their mistresses buying illegal drugs in neighborhoods infested with poverty and crime. The surviving families don’t want publicity. One of the few clues in the investigation is the appearance of clean, well-dressed street kids begging in the local streets prior to the murders. Law enforcement has not made a connection.
Casper Halliday met Nicky Snow when the little girl tapped on his car window the night before he entered the NYPD Academy. The last time he saw Nicky, she was snatched off the street into a moving vehicle.
Casper and his friends, Mando Gonzalez, and DJ Gardner have crossed a threshold—leaving their rookie years behind. After several high-profile cases, they look forward to a return to normalcy.

And locked eyes with a familiar ten-year-old girl.
For Casper Halliday…
There is no normal.
