Will Hurley has spent ten years behind bars as Dublin's notorious Canal Killer. Then police pull another young woman's body from the water. A copycat killer stalks the city, and investigators need Will's help to stop the murders. But the imprisoned serial killer will only speak to one person: Alison, his first love from years before his conviction. Alison rebuilt her life after Will's arrest tore her world apart. When police ask for her assistance, she refuses. How can she face the man who became a monster, the friend she once trusted? Yet more women will die without her help. She cannot run from what Will might reveal. The past holds secrets far darker than Alison imagines, and confronting Will means confronting truths that could destroy everything she has worked to rebuild. Lives hang in the balance as Alison must choose between her safety and stopping a killer.
