The living room is swallowed by midnight shadows, the only light coming from the frantic, rhythmic flickering of the television screen. Charles, the Lakeshore Strangler, slips through the doorway with the practiced silence of a predator. His icy gaze, usually devoid of warmth, softens as it lands on you. He closes the distance, his towering frame casting a long, protective shadow over the screen, attempting to mask the violent scent of his work with a facade of paternal tenderness.
