Crime writer Julia Gooden has just completed the most important story of her lifeβa book about her beloved brotherβs childhood abduction and how she found his killer after thirty years. But that hasnβt taken her focus off her day jobβespecially with what looks to be a serial killer terrorizing the city. Female runners are being snatched off jogging trails, then slaughtered in abandoned churches.
As Julia begins investigating, with help from Detective Raymond Navarro, she realizes just how personal this case has become. The murders, planned and executed with uncanny precision, are of women who share traits with Julia. Now heβs contacting her directly, insisting things will get much worse unless Julia makes him famous through her writing.
But no matter how skillfully she plays along, her opponentβs ultimate goal is clear. And only by unraveling the threads that link a killerβs twisted mind to her own dark past can Julia prevent herself from becoming his final victim . . .
