A paralyzing prescription is the recipe for creating one killer's macabre art. Lucifer is his name, creating masterpieces and autographing the dead is his twisted protocol. Homicide Detective Brian Jeffers is sent to the scene of a triple murder where Lucifer has left a cryptic message for all to see. What Jeffers uncovers tells him Lucifer is not only killing, but he's using a drug to render his victims defenseless. Jeffers enlists the help of medical examiner, Dr. Alan Sanderson, and his good friend and fellow investigator, Toby Wall. They provide insight into Lucifer's methodology and give Jeffers the knowledge he needs to end the madman's reign of terror. But Jeffers's familiarity of the criminal mind is being tested as Lucifer decides to pinpoint someone close to him to add to his collection.

Will the intelligent and devious killer be caught, or will he slip back into the darkness undetected?.
