Serial killer in Detroit who fuses parts of bodies together to make "art". The main detective's teenager daughter has no idea she is texting with him online, the art community has no idea who their rising star REALLY is and it might just be up to a homeless man to save everyone.
"Scary as hell and hypnotic. I couldn't put it down...I'd grab it if I were you." —Stephen King
