About This Book

As a child, Nora Davis lived in the same house where her father secretly murdered women in the basement. When the police finally discovered his crimes, Nora's life changed forever. Decades later, she has become a successful surgeon and has built a quiet existence while keeping her family history hidden.

Her carefully guarded secret is threatened when one of her young female patients is murdered in a way that closely resembles her father's method. Nora realizes that someone may know the truth about her past and may be deliberately recreating the crimes to implicate her.
