He’ll keep you on ice until he needs you.
In the darkness of a deserted industrial park, a car slams into a streetlamp. At the wheel: a young woman. Motionless. Lifeless.
When forensic pathologist Julia Schwarz arrives at the scene, she quickly realizes the crash did not kill the driver. The woman was already dead. The autopsy reveals the chilling extent of the crime: someone kept her body frozen for months.
Who would thaw a corpse only to prop it up behind the wheel of a car?
As Julia searches for answers, Detective Florian Kessler discovers a second victim—and disturbing parallels between the two deaths.
Together, they hunt a serial killer who delights in staging his crimes. And every time, he outdoes himself.
Can they stop him before he strikes again and completes his masterpiece?
