The prison guard cried out, "dead man walking" as he walked the prisoner toward the death chambers. The State of Texas sentenced the prisoner death by lethal injection for the gruesome murders of twenty-five women five years ago. His name was James Earl Gibson better known as the "Gentleman Caller". He preyed on young lonely women with long dark hair; he will locate them on an internet dating services. His intensives are to date them for several weeks until they have felt in love with him. Once that happen, he would have sexual relationship with them, afterward he would cut out their body parts. He was the most horrendous serial killer since "Jack the ripper" he would outwit law enforcement for five years. He loves to send law enforcement the different bodies' parts of the women he has murdered, he would put them in a box wrapped in nice red and white wrapping paper with a love note signed the "Gentleman Caller".

In the city of Dallas, Texas lived Detective Floyd Patterson a veteran on the Dallas Police Department for twenty-nine years. He had cracked several murder cases during his years of service as a homicide detective. He had one more year before retirement; his plans are to move his family to Tyler, Texas to the house he had inherited from his father , raised some cattle, and go fishing everyday. He wants his last year on the police force to go easy, but unknown to him he was about to embark on a murder case that would changed his career forever.

It was five years ago, on a Friday night in Dallas, Texas Tiffany Lawson left her job at the Federal Building. She walks into her apartment where her cat met her at her door. She noticed she has an email from someone, it said from the gentleman caller. It reads," Hi, I am answering your ad on "Singles.com" dating service; I am a single man who is looking forward in meeting a young woman like you. Please reply to this email so we could meet". The email delighted Tiffany, she had been trying to meet someone on that dating service for several months.
