To find out, Blackburn takes her to renowned psychiatrist Dr. Michael Tolan. But Tolan has problems of his own. One year ago today, his beloved wife Abby was savagely slaughtered by the very same serial killer. Now Jane Doe is saying things that only Abby could know... about long-buried secrets...about the night of Abby's death... Soon Tolan finds himself headed for a confrontation with his past that could well lead to a breakdown. And it's up to Frank Blackburn to find the connection between Jane, Tolan...and Vincent--before the killer strikes again.

When a catastrophic disaster sets Glenn free, he blazes a freshly bloodied path across San Diego County. 

But the death he craves most is Robin McKenna's. 
Putting aside their past troubled relationship, Will rushes to protect Robin, now a savvy businesswoman operating an upscale club.

"Abby stepped in the lift and the doors closed with a sound like a shovel smoothing gravel. She breathed in the smell of someone else's perfum, and lemon-scented cleaning fluid.

Abby was about to realize she had just made the worst mistake of her life . . . "
