About the book

Nora Davis is a successful surgeon living a quiet life, but she hides a childhood trauma: her father is a notorious serial killer serving a life sentence for murdering women in their basement. Twenty-six years later, Nora’s past resurfaces when one of her own patients is murdered in the exact signature style her father used. As the police investigation narrows its focus on her, Nora must determine if a copycat is stalking her or if she inherited her father’s violent impulses.

Fans of psychological thrillers seek this book for its rapid pacing and unreliable narration. Readers gain a perspective on the psychological burden of a dark family legacy and the paranoia of being framed for crimes that mirror a personal history. The story appeals to those interested in the tension between nature and nurture, providing a resolution centered on identity and the discovery of hidden motives within a small social circle.
