On a frigid New Year’s Eve in Minneapolis, a young woman’s brutalized body falls from your trunk of an automobile into the route of oncoming traffic. Questions concerning whether she was alive or inactive when she strike the icy pavement result in her macabre nickname, Zombie Doe. Unidentified and unidentifiable, she actually is the ninth nameless feminine victim of the entire year, and homicide detectives Sam Kovac and Nikki Liska are charged with the duty of not merely learning who Zombie Doe is normally but who in her existence hated her about The 9th Young lady enough to damage her. Was it personal, or could it just have already been a crime of chance? Their greatest fear is that not only is she their ninth Jane Doe of the year but that she may be the ninth victim of a bad vicious, transient serial killer they have come to call Doc Vacation. Crisscrossing America’s heartland, Doc Vacation chooses his victims randomly, snatching them in a single city and leaving them in another, generally on any occasion. If Zombie Doe is certainly one of is own victims, he has brought his gruesome video game to a fresh and more terrifying level. But mainly because Kovac and Liska begin to uncover the reality, they will find which the monsters in their ninth girl’s existence may have lived closer to house. And even as another young girl disappears, they need to inquire the issue: Which is the better bad – the devil you know or the devil you don’t?
