β¦ Synopsis
Scott Tucker attracts redheads like a magnet; one almost cut him into pieces and another is after his body. Despite his recent Harvard education, and painful experience, he hasnβt learned to avoid investigations. His first experience as a volunteer on a strangler task force almost cost his love interest her life. His second experience was with another task force investigating men he knew being killed by women. He was very lucky on that investigation that he too didnβt end up in pieces and dumped in Boston Harbor. When Scott receives a letter from Charlotte Williams, pleading him to help find her brother, he remembers the nightmare of his own captivity and Charlotteβs own rescue. Without alerting anyone he offers to help. Charlotte's brother isn't the only rich young man, who, along with his expensive yacht, has disappeared in Bermuda. With the count now up to four, and no ransom demands, local authorities fear the men are being kept. The lack of any progress finding the four missing US citizens, and another four unconfirmed, prompts the FBI to investigate. When menβs tortured bodies start turning up, authorities fear time is running out. Scott's uncanny knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time puts him face-to-face with an unexpected demon from his past. Will his luck run out this time?
