Detective Sergeant Lena Evans gets recognized on the streets of her hometown of West Joseph, Ohio. She's a reluctant local celebrity, having defeated serial killer Lathan Collins.
Now, as the one-year anniversary of the Collins case nears, four more women have been brutally murdered-and the killer is sending video footage of their deaths directly to Lena's inbox.
The investigation brings Lena face-to-face with her past: the Collins case, her celebrity status, her lingering PTSD-and the first woman she ever loved, Special Agent Cait Porter, who's just been assigned to the case.
The killer gives Lena five days to figure out who he is. But the closer she gets to finding him, the more likely it is that she'll become his fifth victim
