About Composite (Unabridged)

Freddy Luccio was once a well respected artist in Hollywood. Whether it be for storyboards, posters, character designs, or logos, studios would often call on Freddy. But before long, his luck changed. Lost, broke, and with nowhere else to go, he has no choice but to move back to his home town of Everett Falls, New York, to live with his aunt. Now in his late 20s, he is depressed, lonely and by all accounts, a failure. But he just may be the only person who can stop a brutal murderer. He gets a job at a small pharmacy, falls in love with a meek and timid co-worker named Charlotte, and tries to figure out his future. Thanks to his new favorite crime documentary-series, "Forensic Justice," he develops a budding interest in forensic art. With nothing to lose, he takes his portfolio to the local police station and volunteers his services as a sketch artist. But in a small town with very little crime, the last thing Freddy expects is to become unwittingly entangled in the hunt for a serial killer. The press is calling him "The Basher." He targets young women and bludgeons them with a short club. When one victim manages to survive, she describes the man's face to Freddy, and he draws a composite sketch. The police go to work, developing their pool of suspects, but Freddy has someone else in mind. Does he see something the police don't? They won't listen to his crazy theories, and with no evidence, there's nothing they can do. The killer strikes again and again, and now he is stalking Charlotte. Freddy's obsession will take him in search of a true monster, and plunge him into an unimaginable nightmare. But will he be able to save the woman he loves before it's too late?"
