SUMMARY
Fitz is doing a radio phone-in show when he's contacted by a serial
rapist, Floyd Malcolm, a young black man who targets only white women
as an act of revenge for years of racial abuse. Meanwhile, Jimmy Beck
is feeling the strain of his guilt over Billborough's death and is close
to a breakdown. When Penhaligon is raped, it comes too close to home
for Fitz - but was it really Floyd who raped her?
