Gray Matter — Shirley Kennett

A celebrated pianist has been found dead, decapitated by a sharp instrument, possibly a meat cleaver. His head is still missing.

For psychologist and single mother PJ Gray, starting life over in a new city, and veteran homicide cop Leo Schultz, it is only the beginning of a savage nightmare that will hold the entire city of St. Louis in a death-grip.

He's a face in the crowd. An anonymous figure in the shadows. The most unstoppable serial killer in history. Until PJ Gray discovers who he is.

At the mercy of a cunnign monster with no mercy to give, it will take all her instincts as a psychologist and a woman to beat him at his own game.
