Killing Pickman

William Zhu is a New York homicide detective that has just made the arrest of his career. With the apprehension of Richard Pickman he has solved over one hundred missing child cases. The excavation of Pickman’s basement reveals the bodies of children mutilated in bizarre satanic rites. But nine years of solving violent crimes has pushed Zhu to the brink. Frustrated with his role of clean-up man to the detritus of the world, Zhu makes what may be a fatal mistake: he decides to kill Pickman. Fatal, for the rituals Richard Pickman performed were not the work of a madman but sacrifices to a very real demon to prolong his life. Killing Pickman is going to be a lot tougher than Zhu ever thought possible.
