So ... consider... What if the Guilty were innocent and the innocent in danger? Is it all in the lines of our hand?

Sam Cray, a streetwise and earthy detective looks upon the eighth victim of a serial killer they are starting to call the Illinois Butcher. Ruthless and vicious, the killings are particularly twisted. Yet has he made his first mistake? The killer leaves a trademark on every victim, a daisy tied with a yellow ribbon. Only this time he has sullied a previously unblemished record by leaving a fingerprint when he stopped to fasten a button on the girls clothing. A simple reflex, but perhaps giving the police a direct route to him.

Later that evening, a man sits in a nearby café and watches the police activity. Running the length of his hand is a deep scar.

Not another serial killer story, I hear you groan ... not quite!
