Detective Lindsay Boxer thought she had closed the book on serial killer Evan Burke when she locked him away. Reporter Cindy Thomas turned Burke's crimes into a bestselling true crime account. Now someone has discovered that book and decided to use it as instructions. The copycat doesn't just recreate Burke's murders. He adds his own twisted improvements to each killing. Lindsay finds herself chasing a phantom who knows exactly how the original crimes unfolded. The killer stays one step ahead because he has studied every detail of Burke's methods. Meanwhile, the entire Women's Murder Club faces a threat that could tear apart everything they have built together. The case forces Lindsay to relive the horrors of Burke's original spree while racing to stop an even more dangerous successor.
