Orchestrated murders

a killer on the loose... the year is 1988 and there is a serial killer rampaging through new orleans. his target-female musicians. his method-strangulation and rape. he never strays from his m.o., so why is there a woman claiming that she was molested by him and got away? he would never be so careless. she must be eliminated. a man on a mission... detective ej danner has had one hell of a year. he needs a woman. he needs a drink. but most importantly, he needs to lock-up the madman who has been terrorizing his city and flaring up his ulcer. in walks a familiar woman-beautiful, infuriating, naive-and nothing about her story adds up. a brilliant plan, until it's just not... ali has a fool-proof plan for notoriety-claim that she is the "victim that got away" in order to sell book rights, make a name for herself, and then be able to publish whatever she wishes! hair dye-check. made-up story-check. she just didn't account for the lead detective on the case to be so devastatingly handsome, brilliant, and her former forensics professor! a knack for talking to herself and getting into trouble-check.
