After the decomposed remains of a young woman are found along a stretch of highway, Cold Case Detective Lauren Riley instantly knows her chief suspect: David Spencer. It fits his MO perfectly . . . if only she could prove it.

Lauren helped acquit David during a murder trial two years earlier, and now regrets it. Since then, she's become convinced of David's guilt. The deaths of two police officers and a number of women are suspected to be the doing of David, but she hasn't been able to connect him to them. By keeping him out of prison, how many lives have been ruined by David's hands?

She once fought to clear his name, now she'll fight to bring him down . . . but what will David do to remain free? And how far will Lauren Riley go to get a vicious killer off the street once and for all?
