EX-ACTOR RYAN LANARK IS PLAYING THE DEADLIEST ROLE OF HIS CAREER... AVENGER. When his entire family was brutally slaughtered, actor Ryne Lanark left the stage to become a cop,swearing revenge on the sadistic scum responsible. Using his mastery of disguise to head up Chicago P.D.'S elite DECOY squad, the relentless crusader has embarked of his own personal war of retribution. A tortured loner, a ruthless executioner, Ryne Lanark is on the streets-overstepping the boundaries of the law to mete out his own explosive brand of urban justice. MANIAC The newspaper call him "Gentle Jim"—a hulking giant with the mind of a demented child who's been leaving a trail of disemboweled blonde corpses in his wake. So far the police have been unable to track down the elusive killer. But now LT.Ryne Lanark is on the case. And the relentless avenger is determined to halt the psychopath's grisly reign of terror by any means possible—legal or otherwise.Because "Gentle Jim" has already selected his next victim—the beautiful blond DECOY cop Shannon Keyes... the woman Ryne Lanark loves.

TWISTED GENIUS... He likes hands.He likes their comfortable shape and weight and size.He likes the portability of the hands once they are severed from the rest of the ponderous body. He might carry them in his coat pocket, carry them to where he works, to the cafe, the park. But really, The Handyman isn't a selfish sort, the hands are for someone else, someone without proper hands of their own. And besides, the "donors" never felt any pain, they barely even bled. The Handyman had worked out every detail. Chicago Police Detective Ryne Lanark figured out the handless corpse probably deserved what he got, that he had violated some sacred code. When a second handless body was found, Lanark knew there would be more, that the slaughter was just beginning. Forensics warned him that the killer was brilliant-amazingly,the victims died of heart attack,not blood loss. As the body count rises, lunatics from all over Chicago begin confessing to the murders. Then, a woman claiming to have escaped The Handyman comes forward. Her description is too precise to be faked. She could be the key to the whole case... or bait set by the Handyman. Either way, Lanark will meet The Handyman... alone.
