When Rebecca Cartwright moves into the gated community of Mill Point Road, in Ravenwood, she thought she had found her sanctuary. Amongst the beautiful homes, she soon discovers that the other women of Mill Point Road aren’t what they seem. Detective Marvin Richards, a veteran homicide cop, moved to picturesque Ravenwood for peace and quiet. That was until a serial killer decided to dump their fourth victim near Mill Point Road. He enlists the help of Haley Perez, a rookie patrol officer, and together they go on the hunt for the Eden Killer.

Trick or treat? Don’t answer the door. The blood-red leaves are falling all around Carolyn Ryder as she takes the last steps of a journey that has come to an end. All the pain, the suffering, and loss she has had to witness and endure along the murderous road Sam Pritchard has traveled; all leads to here. Ravenwood. But this time, Carolyn will not be alone. New allies will be forged, and she’s brought along some old ones too who have shared in the same plight in finding and killing monsters just like Pritchard.

The winters in Willow Falls, Iowa are cold, brutal and unforgiving. And so is the town’s newest visitor. Except he’s not passing through. He’s here on vacation, for some fun and he’s going to stay for a while. They call him “Robin Hood”, a winter serial killer who has left a gruesome trail of horror and d ath across four Midwestern states. His grisly trademark is skewering his victims to tree trunks using a hunting crossbow. Now he’s here.

Carolyn Ryder made a choice that she may come to regret. It’s been three months now since her near-death encounter with the country’s most wanted Sam Pritchard, and still no sign of him. Returning to the coastal haven of Erin’s Bay, she soon catches the unwanted attention of the new Chief of Police, Clayton Morelli. He’s more than a little curious about the woman who lives in the beach house high on the clifftops.

Sam Pritchard, the Highway Killer from Utah, tried to kill her…but failed. Robin Hood, the winter serial killer who terrorized most of the Midwest, did kill her, and technically, Carolyn Ryder, for almost five minutes, was dead. But the woman who surgeons brought back to life on the operating table is not the same woman who was wheeled into the ER without a heartbeat. She has changed. But one thing hasn’t changed. Carolyn Ryder has some unfinished business, and it’s called Sam Pritchard. She wants to find him real bad.

Catching the Eden Killer earned Haley Perez her detective's badge—and plenty of angst from her fellow, more experienced, detectives. With her mentor, Marvin Richards, now retired, Perez must rely on her own instincts when the body of a woman is found frozen to death in the forest near Ravenwood, with her eyes gouged out. But, that's the least of Haley's problems: she has a new deadly admirer. Someone claiming to be the Eden Killer's mentor is stalking her.
