She survived one serial killer; can she defy all odds and survive another? Detective John Walters resumes his role as homicide detective in Appleton, Wisconsin, a town that has finally found peace after his explosive showdown with the bone-breaker killer. However, the arrival of a new and sophisticated murderer propels an old survivor into a fresh and deadly threat. When Deputy Jones enlists John's help to investigate the targeted cyber-hacking of his childhood friend, someone who survived a serial killer two decades ago, he can't refuse. She's dedicated herself to rebuilding her life, vigilant and proactive in her home security and self-defense against the demons of her childhood. As John probes further, what initially appeared to be a distant online attack conceals a disturbing up-close and personal connection to her past. In a parallel pursuit, FBI Agent Della Perez, well-acquainted with the sinister minds of serial killers, tracks a new menace. A killer who roams the country, targeting survivors of past murderers. His twisted trail leads her back to Appleton, and Detective John Walters. Working together again, they face a chilling question: Can they stop a madman who seeks to strike terror into the hearts of those who've already escaped the unthinkable?
