Boston detective Ellery Hathaway met FBI agent Reed Markham when he pried open a serial killer' s closet to rescue her. Years on, their relationship remains defined by that moment and by Francis Coben' s horrific crimes. To free herself from Coben' s legacy, Ellery had to walk away from Reed, too. But Coben is not letting go so easily. He has an impossible proposition: Coben will finally give up the location of the remaining bodies, on one condition-Reed must bring him Ellery. Now the families of the missing victims are crying out for justice that only Ellery can deliver. The media hungers for a sequel and Coben is their camera-ready star. He claims he is sorry and wants to make amends. But Ellery is the one living person who has seen the monster behind the mask and she doesn' t believe he can be redeemed. Not after everything he' s done. Not after what she' s been through. And certainly not after a fresh body turns up with Coben' s signature all over it.
