The investigation that should have ended refuses to stay buried. The killer who terrorized a community has returned, and the people who exposed his crimes find themselves pulled back into his orbit. The journalists and investigators who thought they had closed the book on the Boogeyman case discover that walking away from the story of their careers may be impossible. Their obsession with the truth conflicts with their need to protect the people they love. The killer knows this weakness and exploits it, weaving them deeper into his web with each move. As the case reaches its breaking point, one person controls all the answers. He may be the most dangerous predator they have ever encountered. The question becomes whether anyone can escape his influence, or if the pursuit of this story will consume them all.
