Jillian Hayes, Carol Rosen, and Meg Pesaturo — survivors, not victims, of the man known as the College Hill rapist — call themselves the Survivors Club. When Eddie Como is shot dead outside the courthouse just before his trial, in what looks like a professional hit, all three women become prime suspects.
Detective Sergeant Roan Griffin's investigation pulls in Catherine Rose Gagnon, a woman who survived a month-long abduction and abuse twenty-five years earlier and has just lost her husband to violence of his own — and finds Griffin drawn to Jillian, whose icy composure masks pain that mirrors his own. As a new attack suggests the rapist has somehow returned from the dead, Griffin races to unravel who is really behind it before the city descends into panic. Lisa Gardner's thriller is a tense, multi-narrator study of trauma, vigilante justice, and survival.
