And just maybe, in the process, they can break down that brick wall she has built between them. Maybe they can even be more than friends again. Then a fifth girl goes missing without a break in the case… Jess questions her skill as a profiler and an investigator. Then the unthinkable happens. A startling personal message reveals that the crazed serial killer whose case she blew has followed her to Birmingham, adding a chilling twist to an already desperate situation, and time is swiftly running out.
