Just what is it that attracts some women to the most evil of men? The seductive, twisty, exhilarating new thriller from Sharon Bolton. He loves her. He loves her not. He's a serial killer. A murderer of young women, all killed in brutal attacks. But despite his conviction, he's always stuck to his story -- he's innocent and he's been wrongly imprisoned. And now he wants someone to investigate, and more importantly, to write his story. At first Maggie, a barrister and true-crime writer, is reluctant to even acknowledge his requests, ignoring his letters. But this is a very charismatic and persuasive man, good-looking and intelligent.
