Katie Shaw once had everything. She lived in a gorgeous English countryside home with big dreams and a boyfriend who loved her. She also had Chris, her little brother, whom she would do anything to protect. Then a violent stranger shattered their family forever. Years pass. Katie carries crushing guilt about what happened to Chris that day. She now has her own child to keep safe and finds herself jumping at shadows, unable to tell real danger from phantom threats. The phone rings. Chris has disappeared. He needs his big sister again. Detective Laurence Page investigates a savage murder. Someone killed a professor who studied fate and free will just hours after the man dismissed his entire staff. The case connects to two older crimes: the brutal attack on teenager Christopher Shaw and the horrific murders committed by a serial killer who supposedly predicted the future.
