In the follow-up to bestselling psychological thriller The Night
Bird, a serial killer mistakenly set free becomes a city's worst
nightmare--and a detective's deadliest challenge.
Four years after serial killer Rudy Cutter was sent away for life, San
Francisco homicide inspector Frost Easton uncovers a terrible lie: his
closest friend planted false evidence to put Cutter behind bars. When
he's forced to reveal the truth, his sister's killer is back on the
streets.
Desperate to take Cutter down again, the detective finds a new ally in
Eden Shay. She wrote a book about Cutter and knows more about him than
anyone. And she's terrified. Because for four years, Cutter has been
nursing revenge day after stolen day.
Staying ahead of the game of a killer who's determined to strike again
is not going to be easy. Not when Frost is battling his own demons. Not
when the game is becoming so personal. And not when the killer's next
move is unlike anything Frost expected.
