An incoherent Jane Doe is found near the scene of a brutal murder, a pair of bloody scissors in hand - is she a victim or the killer? Detective Frank Blackburn takes Doe to psychiatrist Michael Tolan, hoping he will open her up. But one year ago today, Tolan's wife Abby was murdered by a serial killer named Van Gogh. And this morning Vincent called Tolan, claiming that he didn't kill Abby, claiming that the doctor did and promising to make him pay. Could Van Gogh be right? Soon Blackburn is convinced that the murder, the mysterious witness and the death of Abby Tolan are connected. Meanwhile, Jane Doe is desperate to communicate and expose the identity of the killer - who is about to kill again.

Description

"Naked. Incoherent. Covered with blood. That's how Detective Frank Blackburn finds her--a beautiful Jane Doe brandishing a pair of scissors near the scene of a brutal murder. Is she the perpetrator? Or is she the only eyewitness to the handiwork of Vincent Van Gogh, a twisted serial killer with an 'artistic' bent? To find out, Blackburn takes her to renowned psychiatrist Dr. Michael Tolan. But Tolan has problems of his own. One year ago today, his beloved wife Abby was savagely slaughtered by the very same serial killer. Now Jane Doe is saying things that only Abby could know...about long-buried secrets...about the night of Abby's death. Soon Tolan finds himself headed for a confrontation with his past that could well lead to a breakdown. And it's up to Frank Blackburn to find the connection between Jane, Tolan...and Vincent--before the killer strikes again."--p. [4] of cover.
