After fleeing the States, ex-homicide cop Mitch Sharp now has a great life as a commercial photographer in a resort town in Costa Rica. He describes his new life in picturesque Quepos with a local saying, pura vida, “this is living.” That comfortable existence in the expatriate art community is shattered when someone begins attacking women and cutting them with a razor-like knife, deliberately splattering their blood on nearby walls.
The local police are loath to investigate the crimes. The Latin macho society wants to ignore the socially uncomfortable crimes against women.
Mitch is also reluctant to help, he thought he left that old life behind, but the stakes are raised considerably when the attacks turn to murder. Eventually, he is forced to help when it seems his new romantic interest, Angie, a fellow artist, is the next target of the killer.
Isolated in a foreign country, Mitch must gather an unusual team of ex-pats to solve the crimes before the killer strikes again. Using his investigative and photography skills, he methodically uncovers the link to the crimes. A link that could only come from a very twisted mind.
