HATE CRIME
February, 2025
A violent predator terrorizes San Diego, stalking and attacking employees of a Chinese biotech company. Each attack is more violent than before. The perpetrator threatens more, and leaves a chilling warning behind at each crime scene - a Chinese symbol meaning HATE. San Diego Police Detective Sergeant Steven Ryan and Crime Scene Investigator Shui Chen team up to catch and bring the perp to justice, but the perp is clever, always one step ahead of the cops, taunting Ryan before and after each attack. Chen runs into one roadblock and dead end after another as she gathers and analyzes critical evidence. To complicate matters, Ryan is torn between lingering love for his ex-wife and attraction to Chen, who is irresistibly drawn to Ryan.
