Hannah Reindel throws herself from a railway bridge on a bitter December night, ending years of torment that began when six football players drugged and assaulted her at a college party. A month later, Joshua Thorne, the former Holden College quarterback turned Wall Street millionaire, turns up dead in his bedroom, bound and mutilated. When a second attacker dies under suspicious circumstances, detectives Mike McCabe and Maggie Savage realize someone is hunting down Hannah's assailants. They race to identify the remaining targets before the killer strikes again. But as the investigation deepens, McCabe and Savage discover the murders may serve a darker purpose than simple vengeance. The case forces them to confront how far someone will go when the justice system fails and whether some crimes demand their own terrible reckoning.
