Sometimes-a vision for your survival, is your own death. A psychopathic, sociopath mutilator is leaving cut up bodies in the south Bay Area-again. This time around, everything becomes very personal as Hooker is dragged into things, but can't drive with a cast on his arm. Mae West has a blown engine, and the Squirt is still in the hospital recovering from "Dime Poisoning." Then Hooker gets word from his sister that she needs help. She can help him-but he has to pay the price she is asking.... How do you save someone-by killing them. It is going to take everything Hooker's strange extended family can do to pull it off.... And even then, it may be too late.
