Frank Quinn thought the case was closed forever. Five years ago, a brutal killer murdered six women, slicing their throats and carving X marks into their flesh. Then the murders stopped without explanation. Now Quinn sits across from a woman he thought was dead. She's actually the identical twin of the final victim, and she wants Quinn to find her sister's killer. Quinn takes the case, but when the investigation draws media attention, the murders begin again. The killer has returned, and Quinn must stop him before more women die. As bodies pile up and the media frenzy intensifies, Quinn realizes he's hunting a predator who never truly disappeared. The detective who remembers every detail of the original crimes now faces his most personal case yet.
