In the desert just outside the bright lights of Las Vegas, a horrific discovery is made. The body of a young, beautiful Vegas showgirl is found—mutilated almost beyond recognition. Detective Sergeant Romulus Poe is struck by the similarities to an unsolved case from years ago—and a killer known as "the Bogeyman". But when he discovers one of his colleagues slept with the showgirl, the case takes an even stranger twist. As Poe investigates, he is caught up in Las Vegas's hidden history—from Native American legends to modern scientific secrets. And when the body of another young woman is found, the race is on to stop a murderer who is becoming bolder with every passing day.
