Description
John Saul knows how to make the blood run cold and the heart race with fear. Now, the bestselling author Creature and The Homing delivers his most chilling novel yet.
For five years Seattle has been seized in the terrifying grip of a sadistic serial killer, and for five years Anne Jeffers has pursued this horrifying story like a woman obsessed – following the killer’s capture, trial and appeal. As she crusades to keep the wheels of justice churning toward the electric chair, she never believes the prisoner’s steadfast denials of guilt.
Yet, within days of his execution, a similar murder stuns the city – and it has all the inimitable hallmarks of the executed man’s modus operandi. Anne is forced to face some disturbing questions: was the wrong man put to death? Is she to blame? Is a copycat killer at work?
As the murderer stalks his next victim, and creeps ever closer to Anne herself, she feels an icy unease and a haunting sense of connection to these unspeakable crimes. And she hears the relentless echo of the dead man’s last eerie words: ‘Today won’t end it. How will you fee, Anne? When I’m deal and it all starts again, how will you feel?’
