The story so far
Biography
The victims were found with their eyes and tongues removed, the work of someone with both the stomach and the leisure for deliberate cruelty, and the killings continued long enough to establish a pattern of dread before they stopped as suddenly as they had begun. The identity of the killer, when it was finally revealed, was the kind of revelation that a small town never fully recovers from — not a stranger passing through, not a monster from the wilderness, but someone known, someone with a face and a name and a place in the community, which is always the worst possible answer to that particular question.
