DCI Erica Sands is on the hunt for her father, the infamous serial killer Charles Sterling, who vanished without a trace after a daring escape from a maximum-security prison. The trail has gone cold, and the authorities believe he has disappeared forever. But Erica knows her father better than anyone and feels his presence lurking in the shadows. When journalist Pierre Cloarec uncovers a massive financial fraud - the same method Sterling used to fund his escape - his investigation leads him to a seemingly quiet coastal village. There, a new friendship with a mysterious American takes a dark and disturbing turn, and Erica's instincts tell her this is no coincidence. With the clock against her, Erica must unravel the connection between the investigation and her father's disappearance, before he begins a new reign of terror - and she becomes his next victim. In this twisty and relentless thriller bestselling author Gregg Dunnett ratchets up the tension and will have you on the edge of your seat as Erica faces her most personal - and deadly - case yet.
