After facing off with the Roman Numeral Killer, Sloane Matthews is teetering precariously close to the edge. She doesn't want to give in to the darkness she's fought so hard to control, but it might be the only way she can stop what's coming. Sloane is bound and determined to slay her demons once and for all. Even if it costs her everything.

"He's back." Two words Sloane Matthews never thought she'd hear, especially not from her ex-husband's mouth. Failing to catch the Mommy Murderer five years ago was the beginning of the end of her career and her marriage. She'll do whatever it takes to find the man responsible for the deaths of so many - even work alongside the man who betrayed her. The return of a gruesome serial killer isn't the only reason Sloane is back on the FBI's radar. Someone is recreating horrors from her past, and she's the number one suspect.

Twenty years ago, Isabelle DiSanto ceased to exist and Sloane Matthews took her place. Since then, she's spent her life hoping the world would forget all about her former identity and leave her alone. She never wanted to be the heir to a serial killer dynasty, but someone else does, and they want to make Sloane pay for turning her back on the DiSanto name.

With The Mommy Murderer case finally closed, there's nothing keeping Sloane Matthews from heading back to the solitude of her quiet island home in Washington. Nothing but the lure of catching another killer. Someone's preying on the women of San Francisco and she's determined to figure out who.

The "Skirmishes" have left the land in absolute ruin. The last few remains of civilization are Citadels; corrupt, oppressive, and dangerous for most who inhabit them. Outside, the "Big Waste" is a stretch of an endless damaged landscape that has been scorched, poisoned, and left to decay by the horrors of constant war. When an accomplished destruction derby driver decides to take a seemingly simple delivery job outside the Citadel for a little adventure, he learns very quickly why the first day in the Big Waste can often become your last.
