The killer is on death row. So why are women still disappearing?

Five years ago, Kara Ellison vanished without a trace. Her car was found on a remote stretch of highway. No body was ever recovered. A local man, Carter Lyle, was convicted. In two weeks, he'll be executed.

Now another young woman has disappeared the same way. Her car left behind, no sign of her. Weeks later, her body is found in the Adirondack woods. She's wearing a jacket that doesn't belong to her. In the pocket is Kara Ellison's university ID. An object that should no longer exist.

State investigator Noah Sutherland is pulled into a case everyone thought was closed. But the deeper he digs, the more wrong it feels. The evidence box from the original investigation is missing. The timeline doesn't add up. And women are still disappearing.

As the execution clock ticks down and the body count rises, Noah is forced to confront an impossible question: What if they convicted the wrong man, and the real killer never stopped?

Some cases stay closed for a reason. Opening this one could cost Noah everything.
