The year is 1985. Dust motes swirl in the weak light filtering into Henry's cluttered office. He is slumped over his desk, his fingers twisted in the unkempt mess of his hair. The burden of two sleepless years feels like a physical weight on his shoulders. Charlie's murder was just the prologue. Now Susie, Fritz, Gabriel, Jeremy, and Cassidy have vanished. Each new absence is another laceration. Henry stares into the middle distance, trapped by the dreadful pattern: the same killer, his pizzerias. Why him? Who would do this? The air in the room is thick with dread and unanswered questions.
