Ashley Patterson was in her late twenties with patrician features slim figure and intelligent and anxious brown eyes with dark hair. There was something elegant about her; a subtle attractiveness who worked in Global Computer Graphics which was fifty miles south of San Francisco. Ashley was born in Pennsylvania and went out with the most popular guy in school, Jim Cleary in the high school. He was on the football team, handsome, amusing and had a killer smile. They started to go out and fell in; love with each other but her father was against Jim, so Ashley and Jim decided to run away. She waited at the station for hours but he didn’t turn up so she went back home and in the afternoon she was on her way to London. She attended a college in London and was accepted at Global Computer Graphics. Someone was following her. She had read about stalkers but they belonged to a faraway world.she could see the signs warning her that “he is gonna get you”.
“All around the mulberry bush,
The monkey chased the weasel
The monkey thought ‘twas all in fun
Pop! Goes the weasel”
This song is the identity of Toni Prescott. She hated working at Global Computer Graphics. She was twenty, impish and daring. Her face was puckingly heartshape; her eyes were brown and had a mischievous look on her face with an alluring figure. She was born in London and had a delightful British accent. She was a fantastic singer and was cheered by the clubs that made her feel that she was alive. But at the Global Computer Graphics was bored with working and hearing about the plug-ins, dpi and the grids. Soon, she chatted on the Internet and met Jean Claude from Quebec City who owned a jewelry store. But she hated Ashley Patterson as Toni thought that she did not know how to enjoy.
Alette Peters could have been a successful artist and her senses were tuned to nuances of color. She could see colors, hear colors and smell colors. Alette was twenty and her appearance depended on her mood. But she was never simply pretty and the part of her charm was that she was completely unaware of her looks. Alette was born in Rome but had an Italian accent. The move to California had been unsettling at first but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. She met an artist named Richard Melton and fell in love with him.
As the story proceeds we find out a series of murders of Jim Cleary, Dennis Tibble, Jean Claude, Richard Melton .They all were stabbed and castrated. As the story proceeds we come to know that Ashley Patterson, Toni Prescott, Alette Peters were the same person. Ashley was suffering from multiple personality disorder. (Yeh kya hua??#) It’s a condition where there are several completely different personalities in one body. It usually starts because of a childhood trauma and Steven Patterson; father of Ashley was responsible for her alter ego.
Ashley had suffered a lot in her childhood as her father sexually harassed her and when Jim Cleary , Dennis, Jean or Richard tried to make love to her , it reminded her of her father and in disgust she killed them all. Soon, she is admitted in a rehabilitation center.
So, does she get cured????? Or she kills a dozen more???
