A serial killer is dead. A new one just took his place.
Tess Claibourne has spent her life outrunning trauma, building a career as a detective while avoiding the memory of her father’s most disturbing case. That was the summer of Father Silence, the so-called priest who murdered nineteen people and left behind one broken survivor.
Now, nearly twenty years later, the original killer is gone. But a copycat calling himself the Outcast just murdered Tess’s father and kidnapped her daughter.
To save her child, Tess returns to the nightmare she thought she left behind. Her only lead is the one man who lived through Father Silence’s twisted games, a patient in a high-security hospital with secrets buried deep.
Will she find answers in his fractured mind before the Outcast kills again?
