A diplomat with a dark past. A sadistic serial killer. A deadly game of cat and mouse.
Lake Harlowe’s job with the State Department is to assist US citizens abroad. When she visits the American serial killer known as the Alpine Strangler in a Swiss prison, he chooses to reveal a grisly secret: where to find the body of Oregonian backpacker Marianne Dawson, who disappeared decades ago.
Ursula, the daughter that Marianne left behind as an infant, arrives in Switzerland to claim her mother’s remains. Except the autopsy reveals there were two killers. One safely locked away, one a terrifying mystery. Ursula needs answers. The Alpine Strangler will only talk to Lake.
It's not the first time a monster has played twisted games with her. Every step closer to the truth forces Lake deeper into the shadowy nightmare of her past. And when Ursula suddenly disappears from the idyllic village where her mother was murdered, Lake must risk everything in a desperate race to stop the past from becoming the present.
