Millerton, Wisconsin is a peaceful, mid-sized city with such a low crime rate the police don't even maintain a separate homicide division. The peace is shattered on a warm June afternoon when a pornography shop explodes. When the fire department finds four bodies with gunshot wounds and evidence of a homemade bomb, Lieutenant Matthew Goeser is given the job of finding out who and why.Within hours Matt learns the bomber, dubbed The Paymaster, is on a crusade to eliminate "evil" by killing those he believes to be purveyors of filth. His targets include the porno shop, a strip joint, an abortion clinic and the local television station. Thirteen people become victims of his bombs and bullets.Only two people have seen The Paymaster, and when the first witness is gunned down on a dark street, the crimes become personal for Matt Goeser. The remaining witness is Beverly Jankowski, the woman he loves. The Paymaster knows where Beverly lives and works. If his campaign against evil is to continue, she must die. Matt must find the madman before Beverly becomes his fourteenth victim, and time is running out!
