Judge's Choice

On a beautiful summer morning in Minnesota a crop duster spots a naked body laid neatly in a ditch between two new home building sites. The county sheriff investigates the extraordinarily violent death and, knowing he’s over his head, calls an old friend, homicide investigator, Dan Neumann.

Dan and investigator Maria Fernandez rush to Mora to help Dan’s old mentor. Facts emerge, Maria thinks she’s seen this killer’s handiwork before, in Arizona. And, that it may have had something to do with a local dog show.

Dan and Maria call on Dan’s buddy, Pete Anderson, a veteran dog show guy. As the case grows, more help joins search. FBI Special Agent Will Sanford heads up a team is working a major case looking for what could be a string of killings stretching back dozens of years. The killer is working more frequently now, an indication that he may be moving toward the typical serial killer climax–a mass murder involving many innocent victims. They have to stop him.
