Summary

A woman confronts the ghosts of her past and exposes the terrifying truth about a serial killer in this work of romantic suspense, the first of the Truth trilogy. Twenty-six years ago, the Bayside Strangler killed several women and sent mocking notes to the police. Now, a series of murders and similar notes suggest that either a copycat is at work or that the Bayside Strangler has returned both to the small town of Bowers Inlet and to his old habits. Investigating the case is homicide detective Cassandra "Cassie" Burke, who is still haunted by childhood memories of the murder of her parents and little sister.
