Ruth, it seems, was born under a lucky star—otherwise how could you explain her miraculous escape after being kidnapped and held captive for more than a day by a murderer? Nearly twenty years have passed, but she hasn’t forgotten the horrors of her childhood. To make matters worse, she’s haunted by visions of the ghostly girls killed by that maniac—though they tell her nothing new. Ruth knows that, in her hometown, a girl has gone missing again, even though the culprit has long been dead in prison. Could he have gained a copycat—or accomplices? Ruth decides to stop the evil. She risks everything and pretends to be the host of a true-crime podcast devoted to women in the lives of serial killers, hoping to get close to the criminal.
