This is the terrifying true story of how a mysterious killer terrorised the city of Cleveland during the 1930s and how an embattled Eliot Ness desperately tried to solve the case, not just for his city’s safety but also in order to save the ones he loved.

 

Ness is given the new job of Safety Director of Cleveland in order to help root out corruption and organised crime within the corrupt police force. However, a mysterious killer known only as the ‘Mad Butcher’ and ‘Torso Murderer’, is murdering the poor vagrants of Kingsbury Run...

Ness is forced to act and puts his best detectives on the case full-time while he deals with his own dark problems of infidelity and drug addiction. Detective Merlyo finds himself chasing shadows within the chaotic, maze-like labyrinth of the dilapidated Kingsbury Run area, which is the chosen hunting ground of the Mad Butcher...

Both Ness and Merlyo are forced not only to battle their own individual demons – competing hearts and organised crime – but also an opponent the likes of which they have never faced before. It’s an opponent they cannot reason with or rationally understand and an opponent that desires only one thing: to horrifyingly torture and rip off the heads of his helpless victims while they are still alive! A true horror of horrors and a black evil of the purest quality – a Noir Evil!
