Detective Burt Williams has been on the trail of the infamous Poe Killer for nearly three years. The most recent abduction of fashion model Heather Makepeace prompts state authorities to bring in the FBI. Burt's daughter Kris Williams, a homicide agent for the FBI, along with her partner Sean Michaels take over. Burt reluctantly steps down from the case and retires. For the next seven months, the Poe Killer continues his murderous rampage, until Kris discovers that the killer uses internet chat rooms to seduce his prey. She logs in as Annabel Lee and sure enough, he contacts her. With the help of Larry, the tech guy, she sets up a meeting at a nearby bowling alley. However, things go wrong, Kris is abducted and her partner Sean is slaughtered.

Meanwhile, five graduate students decide to go to the old dead end road for a little partying. It becomes a race against time for Burt and ex-partner Grace Andrews to save the students and to find Kris before she becomes the next tale in the Poe Killer's book of death.

How to Win Friends and Influence People is one of the first bestselling self-help books ever published. Written by Dale Carnegie and first published in 1936, it has sold 15 million copies world-wide.

Leon Shimkin of the publishing firm Simon & Schuster took one of the 14-week courses given by Carnegie in 1934. Shimkin persuaded Carnegie to let a stenographer take notes from the course to be revised for publication. In 1981, a new revised edition with updated language and anecdotes was released. The revised edition reduced the number of sections from 6 to 4, eliminating sections on effective business letters and improving marital satisfaction.

Major sections and points

Twelve Things This Book Will Do For You

This section was included in the original 1936 edition but shortened to eight items in the revised 1981 edition, omitting points 6 to 8 and 11, largely due to the original being written during the Great Depression (Carnegie lost most of his savings in the stock market crash of 1929) and those points no longer seeming appropriate for modern audiences upon revision. This section was merely a single page list, which preceded the main content of the book, showing a prospective reader what to expect from it.

1. Get you out of a mental rut, give you new thoughts, new visions, new ambitions.
2. Enable you to make friends quickly and easily.
3. Increase your popularity.
4. Help you to win people to your way of thinking.
5. Increase your influence, your prestige, your ability to get things done.
6. Enable you to win new clients, new customers.
7. Increase your earning power.
8. Make you a better salesman, a better executive.

Letters That Produced Miraculous Results

This section was included in the original 1936 edition but omitted from the revised 1981 edition.
