Have you ever wondered what life would be like if your father was a serial killer? Yeah, well, my name is Jackson Pillar and I'm 19, and guess what? My father is a notorious and world-wide known serial killer. Fun, huh? Not really. Lots of people think I'm going to become like my dad, just, you know, the second version of him. My best friends, Jamie Smith and Kate Aldine, are basically the only people that want to be friends with me. They sometimes doubt and criticize my crazy antics, but that's what friends are for, right? I'm also quite the opposite of what people think I'm going to turn out to be - a fanatical serial killer. Me nor either of my friends are apart of the police force, so I'd consider what we do not exactly legal...
Adele knows she witnessed a murder - what she doesn't know is just how personal it is.
*****
A girl was brutally murdered in the basement of a sorority house in spring 2011. Adele Theroux thinks she saw the killer - and the killer definitely saw her. What she doesn't know is why this all happened and who this guy is. As she tries to solve the mystery from a distance while in witness protection, the connections keep getting weirder and more personal. Might she be able to relate to the killer in a way that no one else can? And what does that mean about her own psyche?
