When a visiting Welsh doctor named Catrin Jacob is brutally murdered outside Chicago's Adler Planetarium, the only witness is Jake Bek--a tortured, increasingly violent schizophrenic. He calls the sole person he can communicate with, his older brother Lou, a homicide detective. Lou has to deal with the possibility that his brother is the woman's killer, which keeps him from digging as deeply as he should into other suspects. This in turn angers his new partner, an ambitious woman with family secrets of her own, and the victim's brother, who comes over from Wales to collect her body and winds up at the center of a ferocious struggle for truth and survival. Jones, a Welsh ophthalmologist, also wrote the terrific thriller Outside the Rules.
