No one wants to believe that they have a serial killer living in their midst, but sometimes, that fact cannot be hidden. When women started turning up dead, none of the cases were connected. One case in particular, gained a lot of media attention, mostly due to the person who had committed the crime. It was brutal, senseless, and a classic case of overkill. But when the person involved started talking about it, there were many that were not going to stay silent on the matter. When he walked free, it was unthinkable.
But what happens when he strikes again?
When a beloved nurse goes missing, no one is sure what to think. As investigators start to connect the dots, a familiar name comes up. Investigators are determined to prove their case, and put this killer away for good.

This was an interesting book on many levels. Josh Wade, the person responsible for multiple killings, used intimidation to keep witnesses quiet. He was determined to not go back to prison. As I read through the book, his “remorse” or really, the lack thereof, was very evident. Any remorse he showed, I believe was only for the fact that he had been caught. He didn't care about his victims, or the pain that was caused throughout the communities that he terrorized.
Overall, I enjoyed the book. I liked the investigative portions, and the victim profiles that were shared. The psychological aspect of the killer was fascinating, but it is just unfortunate that the first prosecutor didn't do her job properly, allowing a killer to escape justice the first time.
