Like phantoms, a killer or killers walks among the people of Austin, Tx.  Desperately seeking solutions, blood hounds, private detectives, and the famous Chicago Pinkerton Detective Agency are employed to catch the ‘remarkable ghoul’, who slaughters women, vanishing in the inky darkness.  Fear continues to rise as the victims shift from black servant women to white society wives, death the great equalizer. Who is the Midnight Assassin? Can he be stopped?
