For thirty years, Charles Sterling was the hunter.
He escaped the cell that was supposed to restrain him and killed at will. The only person who ever came close to stopping him was his own daughter, Detective Erica Sands, and now even she is gone, vanished into the sea off the coast of France. The world believes she's dead. Sterling lets himself believe it too.
So he does the thing he has always done best: he disappears. A new name, a new city, a quiet apartment on an Amsterdam canal where nobody knows his face.
And soon, a new fixation: Jenna, a brilliant sixteen-year-old who reminds him of everything he's lost. To get close to her, he starts dating her mother, but Jenna doesn't trust her mother's charming new boyfriend. And the deeper she digs into his past, the more dangerous the truth becomes.
Monsters cast long shadows, and Sterling's is catching up with him. Something he thought he'd left behind is moving again – patient, methodical, closing in. For the first time in his life, the hunter can feel himself being hunted.
The nail-biting finale to the Detective Erica Sands series from bestselling author Gregg Dunnett. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Claire Douglas and Freida McFadden.
