Halloween night, with a Hunter’s Moon in the sky, finds Detective Jefferson Daniel Lewis on the scene of a murder. Another child molester’s been killed with the signature double tap to the head. Two .22 caliber bullets, and little else to go on, puts Lewis in the middle of right and wrong when sentiment rests on the side of the killer. To complicate matters, he’s assigned a new partner. Maria Santana, a dark-eyed, raven-haired beauty works beside him day and night, but knows she’d like to be a lot more than just his partner. Yet she’s not the only one who’d like to have his personal attention. He tries to keep affairs of the heart out of the way while he looks for clues and when he least expects it, he finds what he’s been searching for. Lewis meets with Maria Santana and Captain Karl Thomas, commander of the Homicide Division, to bait a trap for a killer. Suddenly the plan is ripped apart. A child murderer is set free touching off a race against time during a violent storm-a race that brings a shocking end to the hunt.
