As he delves into the case, Evan uncovers unsettling whispers about the town's infamous SAD Killer, whose string of brutal murders left Briarwood haunted---and whose identity was never discovered. Fifty years later, the ghosts of the past resurface as Evan combs through long-buried evidence, tracks down survivors, and seeks out old investigators tied to the original crimes. Driven to find answers for both the present and the past, Evan is relentless in his pursuit of justice. But as old secrets come to light and the investigation intensifies, Evan realizes the SAD Killer's legacy isn't as distant as he believed---the danger may be closer than anyone imagines.

"Love isn't a game. You can't just waltz back into someone's life after breaking their heart and expect them to love you back. You can't play with someone's feelings, say three cheesy lines and expect them to forgive you for years worth of pain. Saying that you love them isn't enough." "Then what's enough? What do I have to do to get you back? I need you, Nazia. I really do." ~ Years ago, Nazia had her heart broken by the man she loved most. She switched her life around from that moment onwards. Her cherry chapstick became a vivd red, her sweet personality hidden by sarcasm and she switched out her cheerful closet for a more goth theme. On top of all that, she met Kabir. Comparing Kabir to Abeer was like comparing sweets to poison. Kabir was amazing with his sweet jokes, cheesy pick up lines and lazy personality. Her fiancé has made her fall heads over heels for him, helping her out of the sadness and aloofness that she once had. But now, her happiness is slowly breaking down as Abeer comes back to her life. He's determined to call Nazia his again - and he'll stop at no lengths to do it. In the war of hearts, lust and love, who will win?
