Description

A resourceful runaway alone in the wilds of L A, twelve-year-old Billy Straight suddenly witnesses a brutal stabbing in Griffith Park. Running in to the night, Billy can't tremble the terrible memory of the savage assault, or the quest for a cold blooded monster. For anywhere Billy turns—from Hollywood Boulevard to the boardwalks of Venice—he is haunted from the chuck chuck audio of the blade sinking into skin. As LAPD homicide detective Petra Connor frantically looks for the killer, whilst the press colonies mercilessly round the tale, the madman stalks nearer to his victim.
