The peace of Paradise Bay, California, is shattered when a series of young
men are brutally murdered and mutilated in the local cemetery, a notorious
haunt of addicts and dropouts. With the town gripped by suspicion and fear,
the police turn for help to psychologist Diane Cheung, specialist in disturbed
young offenders.
Diane is only too willing to assist – until the inquiry focuses on one of her own
patients, Tobes Gascoign, her most intriguing and difficult case. Should Diane
cooperate with the police, or protect her patient’s trust? Is Tobes just a teenager
gone wild, or could he really be a schizophrenic killer? These are questions that
must be answered – and fast, for Tobes is getting dangerously involved with
another of Diane’s patients, ten-year-old Johnny Anderson.
