Alison Smith rebuilt her life far from Dublin after learning her boyfriend was the Canal Killer. Will Hurley murdered five women and dumped their bodies in the Grand Canal. Now he sits in prison, ten years into his sentence. When police pull another young woman from the canal waters, they fear someone is copying Will's methods. The detectives need information only Will possesses, but he refuses to cooperate. He will speak to just one person. Alison receives the call while living abroad. The police want her to return to Dublin and face the man who destroyed her world. She must decide whether to help catch this new killer or protect the peace she has fought to build. The request forces her back into the nightmare she escaped, back to Will and the memories that shattered her faith in everything she thought she knew about love.
