Josie Stratton, a 19-year-old college student, was abducted by a lunatic and imprisoned in an abandoned warehouse for ten months while shackled until she managed to escape.
Detective Zach Copeland of the Cincinnati Police Department is immediately reminded of the crime against Josie Stratton eight years later when he discovers a young woman's body bound in the basement of an abandoned home. Even though Zach was only a rookie on the case's perimeter, he would always remember the traumatized woman with the haunting eyes.
The crimes bear an increasingly frightening resemblance as more information becomes available. However, Josie's assailant took his own life. Is the city facing a replication of itself? A murderer who continued the work of the initial offender? Or are they up against something much more subtle?
Josie has been working hard for the past eight years to turn her life around, but there's a very real possibility that she could end up as the next victim of the unidentified suspect. The investigation takes on an even more complicated edge of danger as Zach promises to keep her safe and Josie finds herself responding to him in a manner she hasn't responded to any man in nearly ten years.
Josie and Zach are propelled toward a startling and unsettling reality as the past and present clash. A revelation that puts everything Josie has been battling so hard to reclaim in jeopardy, not just her life.
