Description:In San Francisco, war veteran Edward Miller, who works as an errand boy for a dry cleaning company, has a sociopathic loathing for women. Those feelings are exacerbated by spying women he believes are a menace to those around them. Those feeling unchecked, Eddie goes on a killing spree of brunette women, at the same time leaving clues for police, short of turning himself in. He is referred to as the Sniper by the media and general public due to he killing via long distance firearm. The case is being led by Lt. Frank Kafka assisted by Sgt. Joe Ferris, who, besides knowing the killer using a military issued weapon that any vet would have, are largely stumped as to even the Sniper's profile, that is until they speak to police psychiatrist, Dr. James Kent.
