Will Henry Lee is the first chief, an easygoing man who works to establish the position while the murderer begins his havoc. The second is a violent racist who stumbles about his job as the murderer continues his. Tyler Watts is the final chief in the story, an African American cop who must deal with the virulent racism of his community while he puts together the pieces to finally bring the murderer to justice.
