Christopher survived but he was never the same. Katie has always felt guilty.

Detectives are investigating the murder of Alan Hobbes, a philosophy professor. The detectives learn that Alan had let go of his staff the day he was murdered like he was saying goodbye to them. Like he knew he was going to be murdered. During the investigation, the detective uncover that this man was also obsessed with a serial killer who died decades earlier. Why would this seemingly nice old man, a teacher and philanthropist be collecting items of a serial killer?

The author did a fantastic job connecting these story lines. I didn't have any idea where the story was leading until everything just snapped together. I highly recommend this book.
