The Reaper in the Rye Book

In the caverns of our minds, beyond thoughts, dreams and memories, sleeps a monster in all of us. Slumbering under layers of gray matter, deep in the cerebral cortex, we keep it and deny its existence. For one, the beast was awakened and brought forth. In 1978, Savannah, Georgia, suffered the hottest, deadliest summer on record. During that summer, a serial killer began a reign of terror, a grisly and brutal campaign. Those who survived and witnessed the fear and chaos were changed forever. For a short period of time, God blinked and evil seized the day. A young street cop with clear-cut ideas of right and wrong stood at the crossroads that summer, a summer that would live on in bad dreams and suppressed memories for many. A summer when the hunters became the hunted, right became wrong and wrong became right. A summer of murder that Savannah would never forget . . . .
