A young prostitute is found dead in an alley just off Hollywood Boulevard. Her throat had been cut, her abdomen surgically opened, and organs removed. Ellen and Elzbeth both see the similarity to the Jack The Ripper victims. Fearing a public panic, Ellen's former partner and friend, Detective Teresa Gonzales, asks Ellen to hold off on reporting the Jack The Ripper angle, but when additional victims are discovered, it is clear that a deranged serial killer is stalking the streets of Hollywood. On a morning run, Tobias is confronted by a man who wants to kill him--a former Special Forces operative as deadly as Tobias himself. The man, once under Tobias' command, intends to make his former commander suffer before he kills him. It will take all of Tobias' skill to survive the vicious attacks of this powerful adversary. While Tobias is concerned about his own stalker, the girls he rescued a few months earlier from forced prostitution are concerned about some of their friends who are still working the streets in Hollywood and ask Tobias to get involved. Can he and Ellen work together on the Ripper case while Ellen is still wrestling with her feelings about Tobias? When a new Assistant District Attorney is determined to romance Ellen, things heat up quickly.
