New serial killer. New motive. New obsession.
Nobody in the world knew who she was. But soon everybody would know what she's about to become.
Serial killer Clara Parsons is a writer. A storyteller. After murdering twenty-seven literary agents for rejecting her book, she knew it was time to bring her story to life. But her latest round of editing her novel ends in a horrifying way: two men are murdered to match her story. Composed by her own capacity for violence, Clara has picked out who her main character will be: a former FBI agent who was just recently released from a mental hospital... Nathan Pearson.
Something ominous is developing in Chicago—people are playing a role in Clara's story in order to force Nathan to give himself up to her. Refusing to play a role in her story, Nathan will do what he does best to find Clara before she kills again.
Meanwhile, Nathan's new girlfriend Grace Kelly has to visit her ex-husband who was just released from prison for killing twenty-seven literary agents. He claims he was set up but evidence suggests he was behind it. Grace knew it all along: he was guilty of the murders. But after visiting him again she has begun to wonder: was he really involved with Clara and those murders? Or is it like he said... he was set up. But by who?
