Biography
The first part of the story, set in the 1980s, is about a Texan family, tyrannically ruled by a religious fanatic father, Victor Stanley, who considers women to be inherently evil. He teaches his twin son and daughter, Adam and Vesta, that he has drawn, with the help of God, an imaginary circle around the city of Corpus Christi to protect the good people from evil and the temptations of the flesh. Victor considers himself to be The Lord and protector of The Circle.
After years of increasingly aberrant behaviour, including sexual abuse of Adam, the children's mother finally reaches her breaking point and reports to the police what has been happening in their home. The severely indoctrinated son and daughter take this action as a profound betrayal of their father and his teachings by their mother.
Victor Stanley is judged insane and subsequently dies in a mental institution. Adam leaves the family home, unable to forgive his mother. Despite his difficulty in finding his place in what seems to him a strange and sinful world, he gradually starts to leave behind the twisted teachings of his father. He finds a job and eventually the love of a girl named Mary Jane Kelly, or maybe what he believes to be love . . .
In the meantime the twins' mother dies of cancer and Adam's sister Vesta convinces him to return home and stay away from Mary Jane and all women, to embrace once again the teaching of their father and the Circle.
In 1988, Mary Jane Kelly is found dead, strangled.
Between 1990-1996, five murders occur in Corpus Christ, attributed to serial killer "The Needleman", brutal slayings of women, all strangled and with their eyelids bizarrely sewn shut with a needle and thread.
In the second part of the story, Detective Thomas Curtis is brought in to re-investigate these unsolved murders. Curtis is a strange, driven man, still haunted by the loss of his own young brother years ago, when he fell victim to a serial killer in Los Angeles. This tragedy has stimulated in him a thirst for revenge - a deep, obsessive hatred and compulsion to bring to justice all serial killers. Now he is determined to track down The Needleman.
After the latest and sixth homicide, Curtis receives a message from an anonymous retired journalist who tells him details of a similar unsolved case which happened in the city, two years ahead of the first documented victim of the serial killer. This was the murder of Mary Jane Kelly.
What - and who - are the connections that will draw Thomas Curtis into a dark world of madness? And are things as they first appear?
