The murderer that shouldn't exist is pursued by the girl who wouldn't die.
"Though it is not as noisy as battle, the future is unrelenting. It has an awful rage all by itself."
Killer Harper Curtis is a man who left the past behind. Kirby Mazrachi is the girl who was never meant to have a future.
Kirby is the last radiant young lady, full of promise, whose life Harper is destined to extinguish after discovering a house in Depression-era Chicago that opens into other eras.
Harper enters the lives of the sparkling girls at the House's request and waits for the right opportunity to present itself. He is the ultimate hunter, disappearing into thin air after every kill, leaving no trace—that is, unless one of his victims makes it out alive.
Kirby joins the Chicago Sun-Times to collaborate with former murder writer Dan Velasquez, who covered her case, and is driven to bring her would-be killer to prison. Kirby soon discovers that she is getting closer to the impossibly true reality.
A captivating and unique heroine pursues a lethal criminal in The Shining Girls, a violent quantum leap retelling of the serial murderer story.
