In a bizarre coincidence, the victims are linked to the Union Avenue Mission and the historic districts of Beale Street and Cotton Row. As part of his investigation, he searches for a homeless man who might be the only living person with information that could lead to the Manglers identity. Under intense pressure from the mayor to find the serial killer and solve the crime, Lou finds himself getting too close to some of denizens of the darker side of the street culture in MemphisGlitter, Big John Fagan, Boots, J, Bones, and a mysterious newcomer known only as Rocky. Pushed to his breaking point, Lou forces himself to search the abandoned Cotton Row District, where ghostly premonitions threaten not only his life but that of his partner, Sue Nash, as well.
