Two major clues, the cryptic notes left with each of the victims and the unique weapon, keep both detectives puzzled

Their Precinct Captain of Detectives, JANET King, adds the help of Elliot Brown, a police psychologist, to engage in a series of brainstorming sessions, in an attempt to unravel the killer's pattern and identity

Among the victims are those who found happiness in travel, eating, collecting and practice of their respective professions

Then an intruder admits to being the killer and asks for psychiatric asylum
