On a frigid New Year's Eve in Minneapolis, a young woman is found brutally murdered-the ninth so far this year in a string of grisly slayings.

But as Kovac and Liska uncover the truth, they find that the monsters in the ninth girl's life may live closer to home. And even as another young woman disappears, they have to ask the question: Which is the greater evil-the devil you know or the devil you don't?
