Pieta has a secret that she has kept hidden for ten years—she survived a weekend with a sadistic serial killer. Now, the killer is hunting down his past victims, forcing Pieta to consider revealing her deepest secret to stay alive. Meanwhile, Jody, a policewoman, has a secret of her own: she made a terrible mistake that allowed the serial killer to escape justice. When she discovers that Pieta is one of his living victims, Jody sees an opportunity to catch him, even if it means endangering Pieta's life. As their paths intersect, Pieta and Jody must decide whether telling their secrets will save them or lead to their downfall. The gripping new thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Ice Cream Girls explores the complexities of truth, redemption, and the lengths people go to protect themselves.
